My mama used to tell us ghost stories in the evening on rainy days.
‘Ghost Canoe’ takes place on the storm-tossed tip of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, where I spent a lot of time hiking and exploring.
At the end of the day, one of the biggest misconceptions of Ghost is that it’s just about the devil. It’s always been about mankind and living.
The transcendent gift of the Holy Ghost, along with membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is bestowed by confirmation, by the laying on of hands by those having priesthood authority.
But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil’s Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling.
Today’s ghost stories tend to be much more physically or psychologically violent. The Victorians were much more leisurely about what might or could happen, building suspense layer by layer rather than punching you in the face.
When we go through being rejected and abandoned like I did as a kid, you have a lot of fear and anxiety issues that you didn’t even know that’s what it was defined as. You live your life a lot of times living with the ghost of fear.
‘Ghost City’ was actually one of the few instances of non-fiction that I had written, and I felt that I probably said what I wanted. I think it must be different for every author; I haven’t done very much of it, and perhaps, in a way, I found it rather painful, which is why I don’t really do it very often.
When I was sixteen, I wrote the first hundred or so pages of a novel about a piano that was haunted by the ghost of an evil blues musician.

I put ‘Ghost’ online hoping to make a couple hundred bucks, but then the next day, I took meetings with five different record companies.

Only baptize them if you truly believe these people are ready, taking a little more time if necessary so the Holy Ghost can strengthen them a little more.
When I was in hospital, I recorded a ghost. My fave YouTube channel is Huff Paranormal, which is about a guy who talks to ghosts like he’s talking to his neighbours.
I am in Ghost Rider but I’m not sure when it’s coming out.
Laos is the ghost of American military interventions past.
Place is so important to me. The Midwest is like a ghost in my life. It’s present as I look out the window now. I see Texas, but if I close my eyes and look out the same window, I’m back in my hometown in Worthington, Minnesota, and I cherish those values and that diction.
When I was younger, I actually had a ghost face mask, and I stood in my sister’s room in the corner for, like, half an hour until she saw in the reflection, me behind her, and she freaked out and started slapping me.
I remember when I was about 12, I read M. R. James’ ‘Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary’ under the covers, way too young to fully understand what was going on with those stories – completely terrified but absolutely loved them.
If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.
I love ghost stories, and I also have a great fondness and love for ‘Quatermass,’ which in many ways is the show that preceded ‘Doctor Who.’ ‘Doctor Who’ borrowed quite a bit from ‘Quatermass’ and probably wouldn’t have existed in anything like the form we recognise today if ‘Quatermass’ hadn’t come before it.
Scientific fraud, plagiarism, and ghost writing are increasingly being reported in the news media, creating the impression that misconduct has become a widespread and omnipresent evil in scientific research.
I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost – it’s there and then it’s gone.
One of my favorite songs is ‘Ghost’ by Indigo Girls. Emily Saliers wrote that, and she is one of the most talented songwriters ever.
I wrote ghost stories because I’d always enjoyed reading them, and they seemed to be fizzling out… I don’t take them terribly seriously. It’s like a cake, with ingredients.
Even though it’s meant to be the season of jollity and goodwill, there’s something delicious about the anticipation of a Christmassy ghost thrill.
With the help of the Holy Ghost, we can watch over ourselves. We can pray to recognize and reject the first thoughts of sin. We can pray to recognize a warning not to speak words which would hurt or tempt someone else. And we can, when we must, pray for the humility and the faith to repent.
The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator.
The image of a bedsheet ghost standing all alone in an empty house was something I was obsessed with. I really wanted to make a film about that image, and I was waiting for the right story to come along. When it did, I did my best to honor that image.
I saw a ghost once, about 20 years ago. It took the form of someone coming out of a sleeping body and sitting at the foot of the bed.
The holy angels live and qualify in the light, in the good quality wherein the Holy Ghost reigneth. The devils live and reign in the fierce wrathful quality, in the quality of fierceness and wrath, destruction or perdition.
To keep ourselves grounded in the Lord’s Church, we can and must train our eyes to recognize the power of the Lord in the service of those He has called. We must be worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost. And we need to pray for the Holy Ghost to help us know that men who lead us hold this power.
‘The Thirteenth Tale’ is reminiscent of ‘Wuthering Heights’ because you’re never sure if it’s a ghost or if people have gone a bit mad; that feeling that’s been channelled all the way from Bronte is a really exciting one.
I grew up with a lot of monster movies, robot movies, since I was a kid. I love anime movies, like ‘Evangelion’ and ‘Ghost in the Shell.’
I’m pretty sure my house in Florida is haunted! He’s a nice ghost though.
Why a ghost story? Well, I love them. They’re fun to read – and, yes, fun to write.
I’m not much of a horror fan. When it comes to ghost stuff and demon stuff, I can’t watch that.
I love a ghost story. I think they affect me more than other people that are much more skeptical than I am. I think that it’s good that I do buy into them to some degree.
I want to believe in ghosts. I love ghost stories.
God our Father, Jesus, our Elder Brother and our Redeemer, and the Holy Ghost, the Testator, are perfect. They know us best and love us most and will not leave one thing undone for our eternal welfare. Should we not love them for it and honor them first?

I loved ‘Space Ghost’ when I was in college.
I was tired of playing a ghost.
I didn’t want a ghost writer. I’ve got such a distinctive voice, people would smell a rat, I think.
‘Stree’ is a horror comedy in which a bridal ghost who is back in town to take revenge from men, she is the one giving a lot of pain to the men. We have reversed the role, which is such an amazing feeling.
There is not a great Spanish tradition of ghost stories. But in the period of Franco, you’d find these ghost stories: sort of hidden political movies that were supposed to be about ghosts but were about something else.
Everyone has a ghost story, or at least that’s how it has always seemed to me.
When I play supernatural characters in ‘Ghost Rider’ or ‘City Of Angels,’ the possibilities are limitless. The possibilities are endless, you can do so much with that.
I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We’ll see.
Obedience opens the door to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. And the spiritual gifts and abilities activated by the power of the Holy Ghost enable us to avoid deception – and to see, to feel, to know, to understand, and to remember things as they really are.
I was dreading all of the ghost stories of working on American television, not in the least, the length. In Britain, a series is six episodes of an hour drama, maybe sometimes eight, but never twenty-two, so I was petrified of that.
I’ve never seen any ghost, but I definitely believe that there’s some sort of something spiritual out there. I mean, there has to be.
I wrote a novel, Ghost Road Rules, and as soon as it was done and polished, I began reaching out to agents. I ignored the frequent advice to ‘shoot low and try for a low-level agent because they’re the only ones that will take a flyer on a new author.’ That sounded like bad advice to me.
I am not running for president, but I’ve always known if I ever did run for president – or local dogcatcher, for that matter – the boy I bullied would and should arise as a necessary ghost from my past.
As for the extraordinary operations of the Holy Ghost, such as working of miracles, or speaking with divers kinds of tongues, they are long since ceased.
