Yeah, a good ghost story is like a jump scare in a dark hallway – you hear the thump, feel the chill, but you’re not sure if it’s real. The real bite comes from the pause, the suggestion, the way you’re left to imagine the rest. A chilling haunt is built on pacing, on showing just enough and keeping the rest in the reader’s head, then dropping a hint that something’s off. Timing is key, too – let the tension rise, then cut to silence or a sudden noise. And if you can make the ghost feel oddly personal, like it knows your secrets, that’s where the terror spikes. It’s the gap between what you see and what you know that turns a story into a living ghost.
