Good Ghost Movies / Shows
I hate gory / horror movies but that doesn't mean that I don't like scary movies. I love a good ghost story. If you're like me and think that "The Ring", "Paranormal Activity" and "Insiduous" are lame and pretty much unwatchable - perhaps you might enjoy the movies in this list. Some of these movies are scary and some - not so much.
