Not necessarily a ghost story, but still spooky and a surprise ending, for me anyway. Totally unexpected. Short story called Circumstance by Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford.
“The Last to See Me” by M. Dressler. My book group really enjoyed it. Its set in northern Cal. There’s some info about life in the eighteen hundreds. And much about the lower and upper classes.I don’t often read ghost stories, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Nora Robert, In the Garden series, 3 books (blue daliah, red lily, black rose) each reveal a little more about the ghost… one of my favorite spooky but good solid story lines…
The Woman in the Woods, John Connolly. Just finished this. It has a ghost but I would describe it as a semi supernatural story not s traditional ghost story.
Anything M.R. James. But especially Whistle and I’ll Come to You. Henry James The Turn of the Screw.

The Stopped Heart by Julie Myerson
The Thirteenth Tale
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
Dracula try reading that
Try Second Glance by Jodi Picoult.. It’s a love story, a ghost story, and a murder mystery..
I just read The Family Plot by Cherie Priest and it was a good ghost/haunted house story!
The Woman in Black (watching the movies don’t count, that book is scary af)
I’ve got two old fashioned ghost stories for you. Both excellent. The Diviners by Libba Bray is very scary. And the Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson is creepy and scary. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9802372-the-name-of-the-star

@Deborah you will never look at a toy telephone the same way. Mors is the creepiest character I ever read, not even in Stephen King.
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
One of my favorite books!
