Today are happy to be a spot on Michelle Harrison’s blog tour celebrating the release of her new novel Unrest and to be hosting a MOST Awesome Giveaway!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Seventeen-year-old Elliott hasn’t slept properly for months. Not since the accident that nearly killed him. Sometimes he half-wakes, paralysed, while shadowy figures move around him. Other times he is the one moving around while his body lies asleep on the bed. His doctors say sleep paralysis and out-of-body experiences are harmless – but to Elliott they’re terrifying.
Convinced that his brush with death has attracted the spirit world, Elliott secures a job at a reputedly haunted museum, determined to discover the truth. There, he meets the enigmatic Ophelia. But, as she and Elliott grow closer, Elliott draws new attention from the dead. One night, during an out-of-body experience, Elliott returns to bed to find his body gone. Something is occupying it, something that wants to live again – and it wants Ophelia, too . . .
A chilling new novel for teen readers from the best-selling author of the widely acclaimed 13 Treasures sequence.

April 29, 2012 at 10:40 amHmmm… my favorite ghost story? I don’t know if I have a favorite story but I do have a favorite book series… Meg Cabot’s Mediator books introduced me to urban fantasy so they have a special place in my heart, I suppose. 🙂 Now that I think about it I haven’t read many books or seen many movies/ series with ghosts. O.o
Penny
April 29, 2012 at 10:45 amOhhh that looks fantastic!
Favourite ghost book: I looooved Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book and I hope the movie (…when it finally happens) does it justice.
Favourite ghost movie… I have a huge soft spot for Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners and I cannot for the life of me understand why. :’D
Ginny
April 29, 2012 at 10:46 amThis is a pretty awesome price pack. I haven’t read any of these and they both sound good. Hard to pick one favourite book, but I recently enjoyed Eyes to See by Joseph Nassise.
Flash
April 29, 2012 at 10:49 amThe Sixth Sense is my favorite ghost movie. It was fantastic(:
Kokolo
April 29, 2012 at 11:01 amStacia Kane’s Downside series!
Annie
April 29, 2012 at 11:15 amOoh, ghost story! That’ll have to be the Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman! Very very well done.
Thanks for the giveway!!

April 29, 2012 at 11:32 amThe Graveyard Book! <333
Kailana
April 29, 2012 at 12:14 pmI think my favourite ghost story is probably The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. With the popularity of vampires, werewolves, etc, ghosts sort of get lost in the midst of things.
Andreea
April 29, 2012 at 12:15 pmThe latest ghost story I read and liked was Anna Dressed in Blood. Oh, and Koontz’s Odd series also come to mind (not that I read all of them, but I did find interesting the ones I did read).
Thank you for this great giveaway! 🙂
de Pizan
April 29, 2012 at 12:17 pmI’ve always been partial to The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
Suz Glo
April 29, 2012 at 12:19 pmMy favorite ghost themed movie is “Truly, Madly, Deeply”. Sigh — love that movie! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Zabet Reading
April 29, 2012 at 12:21 pmMy favorite is a book called Something Upstairs by AVI. I must have read it at least 50 times as a kid.
Vanessa
April 29, 2012 at 12:32 pmMy favourite movie involving ghosts is Heart and Souls.
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Laura T
April 29, 2012 at 12:39 pmI really enjoyed the twists and turns of Kelley Armstrong’s Darkest Powers Trilogy, where the main character, Chloe, can see ghosts. Does that count?
Rebekah W.
April 29, 2012 at 1:06 pmMy favourite ghost book is probably The Red Tree (Caitlín Kiernan) which is, arguably, not a ghost book at all. But possibly is. But if it comes down to haunted houses — houses that haunt, most likely devoid of ghosts — I’d have to say Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House.
I am also a sucker for Supernatural. And horrible haunting movies — the type I like to hunker down and watch, but am far too embarrassed to list.
mary anne
April 29, 2012 at 1:21 pmOdd Thomas and The Sixth Sense. Though for a lighter touch, the old movies Topper and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir are always awesome.
SandyG265
April 29, 2012 at 1:40 pmMy favorite ghost book is The Graveyard Book.
A_nna
April 29, 2012 at 2:13 pmMy favourite ghost story would be ‘Time of the Ghost’ by Diana Wynne Jones. My favourite ghost tv series would be ‘Medium’.
Lindsay Elizabeth
April 29, 2012 at 2:22 pmI think my favorite books about ghosts would be the Darkest Power trilogy by Kelley Armstrong. Granted, it’s about a necromancer, but I think it counts!
Tanya
April 29, 2012 at 2:46 pmI liked ghost whisperer…she saw ghosts!
Love supernatural. The wenchester’s kill ghosts so a little worried for bobby now.
Rachel
April 29, 2012 at 3:27 pmWow, amazing giveaway!
My favourite ghost story would probably be the Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold… creepy, with awesome characters.
azteclady
April 29, 2012 at 4:06 pmOh my good God, my favorite ghost story or tv show or movie?
I do have a soft spot for the old TV show The Ghost and Mrs Muir mentioned above, and I confess that I really love Ghost (Patrick Swayze *sigh*) and The Sixth Sense, but I can’t claim to have one favorite.
Does that automatically disqualifies me? 🙁
Stuart
April 29, 2012 at 4:08 pmI could probably answer all 3 sections:
Favorite Ghost story would probably be Hell House by Richard Matheson
Favorite TV Show: Casper the Friendly Ghost
Favorite Movie: BeetleJuice
Michelle
April 29, 2012 at 4:11 pmCool giveaway! I’m really enjoying reading everyone’s choices – I hadn’t even considered The Curse of Chalion. My favorite ghost movie is an obscure Chinese film called My Left Eye Sees Ghosts. It’s romantic and hilarious. A ghost book that has really stuck with me is Peter Beagle’s A Fine and Private Place.
sarac
April 29, 2012 at 4:29 pmI love the TV show medium. It’s so addictive!
Sarah
April 29, 2012 at 5:08 pmAmazing giveaway!!!

April 29, 2012 at 5:45 pmThanks for such a fantastic giveaway! Thanks for spotlight this author. I haven’t come across her before this and her books sounds awesome!
I’d have to say that my fav “ghost” book would have to be Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. Love that series 🙂
Raina
April 29, 2012 at 5:50 pmProbably I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder
Linda Henderson
April 29, 2012 at 6:00 pmMy favorite tv show about ghosts was the Ghost Whisperer. Favorite movie, Ghost.
sarah
April 29, 2012 at 6:05 pmnot exclusively about ghosts, but i love “Supernatural”. this is a most awesome giveaway!
Kelly L.
April 29, 2012 at 6:10 pmI’m going to go childhood-nostalgic here…I love the old Abbott and Costello movie The Time of Their Lives.
Kelly L.
April 29, 2012 at 6:12 pm(and yes, it was old even then! I’m not that old! 😆 )
Jenna
April 29, 2012 at 6:26 pmI was always a big fan of “Charmed”. Not about ghosts per say but there were plenty of ghosts in the series!
cass237
April 29, 2012 at 6:29 pmMy fave ghost-type movies would have to be The Others and The Orphanage. So creepy!
Sharon Ames
April 29, 2012 at 6:42 pmI would have to say anything by Stephen King would have to be the best ghost stories.
Tamara
April 29, 2012 at 6:43 pmGot to get on board with The Graveyard Book love. It’s definitely one of those books that I wish I could’ve written. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Chachic
April 29, 2012 at 7:10 pmI’m not a big fan of ghost stories because I’m a scaredy-cat but my favorites are probably A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman because I didn’t have to worry about being afraid while reading those two.
Randy Pickett
April 29, 2012 at 7:49 pmServant of the Bones!
Shannon H
April 29, 2012 at 8:18 pmI really loved Anna Dressed in Blood, and the Mediator series by Meg Cabot
Scarlett
April 29, 2012 at 8:19 pmThanks for hosting this giveaway!
I would have to say that my most favorite movie about ghosts (and I don’t watch to many because things…haunt me, for lack of a better term…for a while afterwards)would be The Sixth Sense. This movie totally blew my mind with the ending, but it also left me with a good feeling which I SO appreciated.
Justine
April 29, 2012 at 8:45 pmI’m partial to Casper the Friendly Ghost.
Megan
April 29, 2012 at 9:02 pmI think mine has to be the Sixth Sense.
Stephanie K.
April 29, 2012 at 9:03 pmI like the movie the Lovely Bones.
Sabrina
April 29, 2012 at 9:14 pmAs a kid I always liked Ghostbusters and still watch it today when the episodes are on tv. 😀
Amy C
April 29, 2012 at 9:24 pmI love Charles de Lint’s “The Blue Girl,” because Adrian is one of the few male protagonists that felt perfectly human and original, the kind of male character that makes girls think a little bit harder about personality over physique and makes boys think a little bit harder about giving up young adult books [much the same way some girls give up fashion magazines and the like for the ridiculous standards they’re held up to]… so, really Adrian is someone to connect with — even if he is a ghost, a situation I imagine neither boy nor girl can truly sympathize with…
Kerry D.
April 29, 2012 at 9:46 pmI don’t know about all time favourite, but the first one I thought of (after Ghostbusters) was Susanna Kearsley’s The Shadowy Horses.
Courtney
April 29, 2012 at 9:49 pmI think my favorite ghost story would be, Heart-shaped Box by Joe Hill.
Helen
April 29, 2012 at 10:28 pmI loved A Certain Slant of Light. Wonderful competition!
Kate & Zena
April 29, 2012 at 11:15 pmA favorite ghost story?
The Mediator series, and I’m not even sure if that counts! (I’m not exactly one for ghost stories! I scare quite easily!)
Ziaria
April 29, 2012 at 11:23 pmMy favorite book with ghosts is Neil Gaiman’s The graveyard Book.
Fantastic giveaway!
Jessica Rake
April 29, 2012 at 11:41 pmA certain slant of light… beautiful in a really creepy way.
Rachel Chan
April 30, 2012 at 12:53 amMy favourite ghost TV show is Ghost Whisperer… I used to be obsessed with it!
Dovile
April 30, 2012 at 12:53 amMy favorite ghost story isAnna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, and the Supernatural TV series that have lots of ghosts.
Cindy
April 30, 2012 at 1:20 amI like the Others and Sixth Sense. Thank you for this giveaway!
Rana
April 30, 2012 at 1:32 amThis is an awesome giveaway!
My favorite show is Supernatural, I don’t if that counts but it there are a lot of ghosts. I also love The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. Hmm, I don’t know if that counts either
Sassie
April 30, 2012 at 1:57 amMy favourite movies are The Sixth Sense, Deadly Silence and The Others! =)
Helle M. Larsen
April 30, 2012 at 1:57 amWow, what an awesome giveaway! 😀
My favourite TV-show about ghosts (sometimes) would definitely be Supernatural!
And my favourite book(s) is Kelley Armstrong’s Darkest Powers trilogy.
Von Peralta
April 30, 2012 at 2:04 amSUPERNATURAL it is! I love that show! It reminded me of the Shadowhunters and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Eva
April 30, 2012 at 2:08 amMy favorite ghost story: “The Mediator” by Meg Cabot. And TV Show “Casper the friendly ghost” 🙂
Mary Preston
April 30, 2012 at 2:25 amSUPERNATURAL the TV show has it’s fair share of ghosts & they are nasty. THE SIXTH SENSE is a great movie with ghosts in it.
Jamie
April 30, 2012 at 3:10 amHmm . . . does Buffy count? I’m not usually big on ghost stories, but that sounds really cool.
karro radley
April 30, 2012 at 3:23 am“The Host” is my favorite book,may be there are not to many ghosts,but the plot is amasing.As for the film,the best,from my point of view,is “The Others”.”Sixth Sense” too,but “The Others” is just on the first place.
Parris
April 30, 2012 at 3:34 amFavourite story has to be the darkest power series by kelley armstrong.
Nina
April 30, 2012 at 4:08 amAs a child of the 80s, it’s ‘Ghostbusters'(“a class-5 free-roaming vapor, real nasty one too”) and ‘Poltergeist’ (“Talk louder, I can’t hear you”). And Courtney picked a great one with ‘Heart-Shaped Box.’
Sarah Dearnley
April 30, 2012 at 4:16 amThank you for such a fantastic giveaway! :)My favourite ghost/scary story is neil gaimans coraline!
Nikki Egerton
April 30, 2012 at 5:03 amWhat an amazing give-away!
Oooh favourite ghosty things – Stephen King’s Bag of Bones really freaked me out when I read it as a teenager – the ghosts talking to him using fridge magnets!
Film/Tv wise, I love Being Human (Uk version), though did wish Annie got to use her awesome powers more often. I also loved a TV series called Hex about a teenage witch that got cancelled, her best friend was a ghost.
Thanks for the chance to win these awesome goodies 🙂
Clau
April 30, 2012 at 5:35 amThank you for the giveaway. My favourite ghost movie is “The Others”. 🙂
Elle
April 30, 2012 at 5:44 amOh man, it’s really embarrassing to admit this because the movie is so full of cliches it’s about to burst, but my favorite ghost movie is “What Lies Beneath”. It’s one of those suspenseful “scary” movies that still makes me jump every time.
CrystalGB
April 30, 2012 at 6:14 amMy favorite tv show about ghosts is The Ghost Whisperer.
Liyana
April 30, 2012 at 6:42 amCasper the Friendly Ghost. It’s a classic, and human Casper was so cute! 😉
Gerd D.
April 30, 2012 at 6:48 amFavourite, hum, hard to say, there’s a couple I love. But I guess if I weed out those that happen to feature Ghosts I love, but do not focus on Ghosts then it all comes down to the original:
The Haunting by Robert Wise
(based on Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson)
Pallavi
April 30, 2012 at 7:03 amOh, it’s easily Supernatural. Sixth Sense and What Lies Beneath are honourable mentions, but its mostly Supernatural for me. *fingers crossed* Hope I win… 🙂
Cheers!
SueCCCP
April 30, 2012 at 7:06 amMy favorite ghost-related film has to be Ghostbusters: I remember sneaking out of school to go and see it!
As for TV, my favorite ghost is definitely Annie in Being Human (BBC UK version).
In books it has to be Bob in The Dresden Files, though he is a Spirit, more than a ghost, he is still hilarious and a total pervert! 😀
Meredith
April 30, 2012 at 7:09 amGhostbusters for sure. I love Bill Murray.
Amanda
April 30, 2012 at 7:10 amI think my favourite ghost related story is the Darkest Powers Trilogy by Kelley Armstrong. But I read The Woman In Black (mainly because of the Daniel Radcliffe film) and thought it was pretty good as well. I’m a big fan of the fantasy books, if someone in the story doesn’t have some sort of supernatural power I probably won’t be interested.
Mandy Nicholls
April 30, 2012 at 7:29 amMy favourite story about ghosts has definitely got to be Ruined by Paula Morris! It’s sort of a cross between a ghost story and historical fiction, and it’s so good!
Nikki
April 30, 2012 at 7:40 amLove, love, love Supernatural! Thanks so much for this superb giveaway!
Kayleigh
April 30, 2012 at 7:44 amIt sounds Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Ellie
April 30, 2012 at 7:44 amMy favorite ghost story is The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson.
Tina
April 30, 2012 at 7:44 amMy favorite ghost story is Anna Dressed In Blood. I can’t wait for the sequel!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
Nicole R
April 30, 2012 at 7:55 am“Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse!” Which is to say to hands-down favourite ghost movie is Beetlejuice 🙂
carol
April 30, 2012 at 8:05 amSounds like a good one. I think I’ll go with what looks like the majority and say Supernatural.
Nell Craddock
April 30, 2012 at 9:00 amMy favorite film about ghosts is Woman in Black! My favorite book about ghosts is also Woman in Black because i couldn’t sleep at night after I’d been reading it!
Stacy
April 30, 2012 at 9:01 amI like the tv show Supernatural. Thanks!
Sheila
April 30, 2012 at 9:42 amThanks for the giveaway!
I love anything with ghosts. We need more fiction with ghosts, less with vampires! 😆 I absolutely adore The Sixth Sense.
Brian
April 30, 2012 at 9:47 amBig fan of the show Supernatural.
Kate
April 30, 2012 at 9:55 amIt’s not a ghost story, per se, but I’m enjoying the Cassandra Palmer series, where the heroine can see and interact with ghosts, and one of the main characters is a ghost. It’s a lot of fun.
LeAnn
April 30, 2012 at 10:04 amI have always loved A Christmas Carol by Dickens and I eat up every iteration of it, even silly TV-movie recreations like A Diva’s Christmas Carol that starred Vanessa Williams and Kathy Griffin. Of course Scrooged is my favorite recreation. 🙂
sweety
April 30, 2012 at 10:08 amMy favorite story about ghosts is “Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake” 🙂
Karen
April 30, 2012 at 11:32 amI don’t think I could pick a favorite book about ghosts, there are too many to choose from. As far as favorite movie, I’d have to go with a classic – Poltergeist.
Amanda
April 30, 2012 at 12:14 pmMy favorite show is Battlestar Galactica, but people tend to debate whether or not one of the characters was a ghost or not. Personally, I think she was a ghost with unfinished business.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Kaethe
April 30, 2012 at 12:30 pmHmm, Lily’s Ghosts by Laura Ruby or Marley’s Ghost by David Levithan or A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I love ghost stories.
Simona
April 30, 2012 at 12:31 pmThey are not necessarily ghost stories but mostly paranormal TV shows: Ghost Whisperer and Supernatural. When it comes to movies I guess the ones I appreciated back in their days were: Corpse Bride, Ghost, Coraline, The Ring, Silent Hill etc…
Thanks a lot for the lovely GA!
Christina (A Reader of Fictions)
April 30, 2012 at 12:56 pmGhost things. Well, the movie may be Ghostbusters, just for all of the childhood and college memories attached to it.
Why can’t I think of any books about ghosts that I loved? There must be some. Harry Potter! There are ghosts. Well, it’s not about ghosts exactly, but I’m counting it!
Barmy_Bex
April 30, 2012 at 1:10 pmLike a lot of others here, I do scare quite easily, but I did love the Mediator series by Meg Cabot. Just wow. 😀
Max
April 30, 2012 at 1:14 pmWell, I do love Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendra Blake. The dreariness of the writing and the originality does call out to me–I mean, come on, how many books can you name that has a male MC who kills ghosts? How badass is that?
Also, the plot itself is quite interesting. Anna isn’t one dimensional, and so are the other characters who’re in the book.
It’s a good read, overall, and I’m happy to see that many other people like it too. Thought I was the only one. 😛
jenn
April 30, 2012 at 1:37 pmo SO COOL!
Hm. Favorite ghost story? ((why can’t I remember the name of it?)) The Sixth Sense, but only because my friends have so many inside jokes about it. =P
Melanie L
April 30, 2012 at 1:51 pmOne of my favorites is The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.
pscott
April 30, 2012 at 3:19 pmGhostbusters 4 eva!
Christina Kit.
April 30, 2012 at 3:46 pmMy favorite book about ghosts is Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake because the ghost really is heart-breaking!
Thanks so much:)
ccfioriole at gmail dot com
Tricia
April 30, 2012 at 4:14 pmMine isn’t so much a ghost but more of an evil entity. The Exorcist has effectively scarred me for life.
Kelley
April 30, 2012 at 6:05 pmI think my favorite book with a ghost is Dark Needs at Night’s Edge by Kresley Cole, especially because I went in really doubting the plot from the blurb and ended up loving it
Charlotte
April 30, 2012 at 6:17 pmMy favorite ghost book is The Ghosts, by Antonia Barber (UK title–The Amazing Mr. Blunden). It is a most excellent middle grade time travel plus ghost story, and I have loved it for years!
Jen B.
April 30, 2012 at 7:29 pmThe first story that popped into my mind was…”panic, I am drawing a blank!”. Then I remembered the Jenny Wade house in Gettysburg. I just love that story. I didn’t see any ghosts but my friend did and she even got pictures!
Alex
April 30, 2012 at 9:38 pmI try not to watch/read too many ghost stories. My imagination, it is too overactive – I saw Woman in Black a couple of months ago and I STILL think of her when I’m getting ready for bed/in a dark house. HOWEVER. All bets are off when it comes to Ghost Whisperer. I watched almost the entire run of that show the summer before last, and damned if I didn’t love every moment of it (even if many of those moments were spent making loving fun of the rampant cheese).
Ella
May 1, 2012 at 2:27 amI was talking to my two daughters about this book just the other day. Its rare that I am excited about the same new book as they are. I read the ’13’ series after they recommended it and loved the characters and ‘darker’ edgy fairytale elements. I see Michelle’s influences in my daughters own creative writing nowadays. We are all looking forward this new book (new series?). Keep up the good work!! 😀
Ella
May 1, 2012 at 2:33 am…. i forgot to mention a favorite ghost story!! Doh.. Actually when I was younger I read a story by (i think)Edgar Allan Poe, which involved mirrors. I remember I had to cover all mirrors in my house for about a month as they freaked me out so much.
MarieC
May 1, 2012 at 7:36 amMy favorite ghost story is the Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde. I love the ghost’s reaction to the American ‘pragmatism’!
VanessaL
May 1, 2012 at 7:52 amFavorite ghost story The Haunting of Alaziabel Cray. No contest.
Chenise Jones
May 1, 2012 at 8:19 amI loved Anna Dressed in Blood!
Rachel R.
May 1, 2012 at 9:30 amThe Girl in a Swing by Richard Adams. It’s surprisingly beautiful for a ghost story.
Jessica Salmon
May 1, 2012 at 12:41 pmi loved the TV show marchlands, on BBC xD It was so good! It was basically about a little girl who was haunting this old house, and it switched between different era’s. It was VERY spooky, and was stuck in my mind for AGES! Eeep! It’s a movie now too! 😀
Dana
May 1, 2012 at 1:00 pmThis may sound cheesy but Ghostbusters is my all-time favorite ghost movie! Comedies are always my favorite 😀 !
Jacqueline C.
May 1, 2012 at 5:28 pmOne of my favorite ghost story films is The Others.
Deb B.
May 1, 2012 at 7:07 pmI must have read The Discontented Ghost by Scott Corbett dozens of times when I was little. I’m afraid to read it again now in case it doesn’t live up to my memories.
Book Angel Emma
May 2, 2012 at 5:54 amI loved Randall & Hopkirk Deceased when I was a teen – the original version not the remake
Would love to read Unrest
Adva
May 2, 2012 at 4:28 pmMy favorite ghost related TV show is Ghost Whisperer, no doubt (cheesy but cute).
Also, Gerald Durrell, in his book The Picnic and Such Like Pendemonium, has a story that I always interpreted as a sort of ghost story (and it always scared the hell out of me) – ‘The Entrance’.
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Adva
May 2, 2012 at 4:31 pmooh, ooh, ooh! BBC’s Being Human – not 100% ghost, but there’s the lovely Annie. The remake is blech…
Katy
May 2, 2012 at 5:51 pmMovie: The Sixth Sense
Book: Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn
Morag
May 2, 2012 at 9:57 pmAnother Randall & Hopkirk(Deceased) fan – the original version.
Book: Too many to mention. The Ghost of THomas Kempe
Iris
May 3, 2012 at 2:19 amI am going to be honest and say that I haven’t read or watched many media with ghosts in it, since they used to make me have nightmares as a child. However, I am happy to say that at age 24, I’m finally able to manage more of the supernatural in my fiction, and actually enjoy it a lot. Somehow, ghosts have never appeared yet, or at least not that I remember? Does it count to say that I am super excited to read “The Graveyard Book” soon?
Sara
May 3, 2012 at 6:50 amI loved the 13 series, and the new book looks amazing!
I love all the “reality” ghost shows on TV – Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files.
jen m
May 3, 2012 at 1:05 pmwhat an amazing giveaway, thank you for entering me!
i love with all my heart buffy the vampire slayer, which has plenty of ghosts. book wise, i would have to go with the graveyard book by neil gaiman. it is wonderful.
(i used to eat up ghost stories when i was a kid, reading tons of books by rl stein and christopher pike. now i think they would be too scary for me!!)
Hannah
May 3, 2012 at 5:06 pmCurrently, my fave ghost story is a play a friend of mine wrote and directed. I’m in it, so it’s sort of at the front of my mind right now…
I’m not usually one for classic ghost stories. I do not know if this counts, but Thirteen Reasons Why is a ghost story to me, and it is stunning.
Pippi55
May 4, 2012 at 1:29 amTV show: Ghost Whisperer =)
Kelly

For TV? No question. Supernatural is the best!

May 5, 2012 at 11:27 amI used to love the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books when I was younger.
What Lies Beneath was a pretty creepy movie about ghosts. My friend had to sit outside for a few minutes before she could drive home to her dark apartment after that one.

June 3, 2012 at 12:47 amI have recently seen the new thriller movie ‘The Woman in Black’ starring the one and only Danielle Radcliffe. I love horror movies and usually laugh all the way through, but this one gave the the chills. The plot was AMAZING and it was one of the scariest haunting movies I’ve ever seen, actually one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen full-stop. I recommend it to anyone who loves to scream, but be warned and watch it with friends close by and blanket you can hide under…

March 22, 2013 at 6:51 pmI liked the TV show Ghost Whisperer. A cool story was on some home show and the people were like ” Destroy my house! There’s ghosts in there!” I’m the biggest fan of Michelle Harrison I cried at the end of every 13 treasures book………………….:mrgreen:
