OCTOBER Question - Ghost stories fit right in during this month. What's your favorite classic ghostly tale? Tell us about it and why it sends chills up your spine.
MY ANSWER - It's difficult to pick just one. The Haunting of Hill House and A Christmas Carol are the first two that come to mind. When you read either one, they just stay with you. At least that has been my experience. A good book always stays with you for a while. However, these two have hung in my mind for years.

A good book certainly does stay with you for a long time.
I don't know 'The Haunting of Hill House'. I will look it up.
Second one to name A Christmas Carol.
Okay, Dracula wasn't a ghost, but the original movie scared the hell out of me, so much that the summer I saw it on TV, I would only let my dad open the windows in my bedroom at night that had no screens a few inches. When he asked why, I told dad I was afraid a bird come in. Actually, I was afraid Dracula in his bat form would come in.
My two favorites - in all their different versions. I started watching scary movies when I was in grade school so I'm not that easy to impress any more. Give me a solid plot, a paranormal problem, varied characters with a lot at stake (snicker!) and I'm all in.
A story that stays with you is quite worthy. I didn't think about A Christmas Carol, but you're right--it's so iconic.
My all-time fav "ghost stories" are the chicken skin tales of marching spirits and ghostly appearances in Hawaii.
A Christmas Carol was my choice too.
