I'm excited to go to Savannah this summer since it is considered one of the most haunted places in America.    Love that stuff.

There is a great ghost story called "The Devil's Backbone" or "El Espinazo del Diablo" in an Almodovar movie.
In the beginning of the movie, there is a quote which goes like this:

What is a ghost?
A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again?
An instant of pain, perhaps.
Something dead which still seems to be alive.
An emotion suspended in time.
Like a blurred photograph.
Like an insect trapped in amber.

Maybe you can use it somehow.

Be careful;  the spooks out there might give you "the vapors."

Now, if you go over the bridge on the right date, the date that she died on, you'll see a girl holding her thumb in the air, needing a ride. If you let her in, she'll give you an address and you'll take her there and look in the back seat and she'll be gone. You knock on the door and her parents answer and tell you that the same thing happens every year.

Closest thing to a ghost story that I know bout from my area.

I live about an hour away from the Winchester Mystery House.  It was the residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company president William Winchester.  The house is said to be haunted by the ghosts of people killed by Winchester Rifles and any construction staff that died while building the house.  The building is most known for being under construction around the clock for 38 years.  There are stairs and doors that go to nowhere, 160 rooms, 17 chimneys, 2 basements, 10,000 windowpains, and 47 fireplaces. 

After the deaths of her daughter and husband she went to see a medium.  The medium told Sarah that the Winchester family was cursed because of all the deaths caused by Winchester rifles and that thousands of spirits wanted revenge on her.  The medium then told Sarah that she must leave Conetticut and travel west, where she must "build a home for yourself and for the spirits who have fallen from this terrible weapon, too. You must never stop building the house. If you continue building, you will live for ever. But if you stop, then you will die."  Sarah then moved to San Jose and hired a staff to construct her house.

After Sarah died the Winchester Investments LLC stopped construction and later opened the house as a tourist attraction.
