jordannwitt asked: What is your favorite ghost story? Or, if you can't choose a favorite, what's one that you like a lot?
Tough question. I like so many. My preferred style of “this really happened” story is one that’s about the person who becomes the ghost and why they’re haunting where they are. These are the kind I like to adapt into Hector stories: the girl who hangs herself in the sorority house for getting rejected, the lovers separated by death, and so on.
Historically based ghost stories I really enjoy include the Winchester Mystery House and the Bell Witch.
Literary ghost stories? Hmm, probably Turn of the Screw? The Carnacki stories?
The story that probably scared me most as a kid was Bloody Mary, though that’s barely a story. I can attest, however, that every Halloween I tell the kids I work with ghost stories, and nothing has scared them more than Bloody Mary.
Favorite ghost story that happened to me personally? This:
