Ghost Story writing prompts
A ghost story is a memory the house refuses to forget. Use the prompt as the first cold draught, then let each writer add the next floorboard.
- A bed and breakfast guest realises she is the ghost.
- A village's lost children all reappear on the same night, the same age they were when they vanished.
- The new tenant inherits the previous tenant's appointments.
- A wedding photographer notices an extra guest in every shot — always behind the bride.
- An old radio in the attic only plays songs by musicians who died young.
- A grandfather's clock chimes one extra time every night.
- The cat keeps walking into a corner of the room and purring.
- The lighthouse log is being written in the keeper's handwriting after he died.
