I think a good way to begin a ghost story is with a short flashback on how the ghost got to where ever they were, and how they died. If not, when I write, I sorta start in a random place, then explain it later. I think that's a good way to go cause It makes the reader want to read more. If you want a good ghost book to read, and maybe get Ideas, I suggest you read The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong.
what's also a good starter is just a creepy sentience like, There are no 'happy endings'. It can be just a second away from a funeral or something like that.

Ghost stories are an amazing part of story telling. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, but if you want good ghost stories, you have to ask yourself, do I want one that is sad and tragic, or one that will make you laugh and funny. Think about it!

A good, fake ghost story is one of a tragedy: There was this one girl that was in a car crash. Now she haunts everyone who survives a car crash. Scary, huh?
Only you can come up with a good name! Titles come from the story, not from some anonymous person on the internet! Titles are not as important as some writers think - your title might change many times between your first write and your final draft!Think about your story - what is going on and who are the people involved? What is something special about the story that might make a good title? Don't sweat it - just write something down and get on with the story!Check out the Related Questions for help with your book, too!
after a day in the sun a girl wants to go to the beach and catch some ghost crabs she caught ghost crabs before and has grown to be good at it.
go to deven and buy a ghost book there because there are really mind blowing onesyour scared arnet you chickin----I recommend Doll House Murders. Not soo scary if you don't believe in ghosts but its got a nice story line. If you want it to give you spooks, then do what i did. Read in the night ;)Blood & Water by Ephraim Rodriguez is a good ghost story. Out of the ordinary.
Some ways you can tell if the story you wrote is goodTake a Test Drive (ask someone to read it and honestly tell you if its good or not.)Read it. Does it sound interesting? Does it make the readers inquisitive? Are you on the edge of your seat?
Its just some things. NOT creepy
The only story I have is a very realistic dream of my deceased grsndmother visiting me, and telling me "I everything will be ok". It was as real as real life.
