How about someone who starts to be haunted and as a result their character starts to change - they become more withdrawn, nervous etc.
Their friends, family and colleagues start to notice the changes and think that its something else, maybe depression or schizophrenia, something like that. So then the main character goes to see a doctor and gets put into care.
You could play with the audience in terms of is there a ghost or is the character having a mental breakdown, maybe the character themselves is uncertain throughout the film and the resolution itself could be quite ambiguous so that the audience could decide themselves whether there was a ghost or not.
Just an idea!

I liked the Sixth Sense, It was different.
I read a ghost story once that was supposed to have happen in real life. A haunting in Connecticut.
After a family is forced to relocate for their son's health, they begin experiencing supernatural behavior in their new home, which turns out to be a former mortuary.It's suppose to come out soon. I guess they made a movie out of it. The T.V documentary was good.
I would love to see a Ghost Story that happens to a normal family. Have you ever see the movie the ENTITY?
The film is allegedly based on the life of the real Carlotta Moran, who claims to continue to be assaulted by this invisible being, though with lesser frequency and intensity (more recently it is claimed she no longer suffers from physical attacks, but still experiences visual phenomena such as those seen in the movie). It opened to major critical panning and was called misogynistic and unnecessarily sexually graphic. Despite its critical and commercial failure, it is widely considered to be a horror classic among the same lines as The Exorcist or Poltergeist.
There's a remake in the making due in 2008.

If it is your grandfather, i would not be afraid. yet messing with the ouji board wasn't a solid theory. this gorgeous lots invitations demons and ghosts into your place. i've got heard of quite a few situations the place ghosts following you ability they're risky. i might actual be very apprehensive, yet once you think of it is your grandfather, you're positive. i've got heard of almost this comparable skinny occurring, and the ghost gradually transforming into further and further unfavorable. place cooking flour all over the floor around your mattress and down the hallway. If a ghost or demon steps in it, you will see that's footprints. in case you have become a bad feeling approximately this, i might call a member of the church in. solid luck.

I see what you mean - I like ghost movies but I really hate gore in a film. Have you seen ' The Others', that is really good, you might get some ideas from that. It scared the hell out of me and it had absolutely no blood in it!!

Watch The Haunting (Robert Wise, 1963 - not the useless 1999 remake). Perfect ghost story - you see *nothing* it's just all implied by sounds and character reactions. It's a fantastic film, and scary as hell.

i think personally its the music that makes it scary, if you put the right music on just as something scary happens, its worth everything..... i like psychological thrillers ones where the killer/monster has some kind of complex for why it kills, like the Saw movies. especially when the complex about the people is true.......cuz like Saw, people dont appreciate their loved ones or forgive unless theyre taken away...true dat!!! and good luck with your movies i wish you the best

how about you have 3 kids go off into the woods looking for this 'ghost'. but have it made as like a documentary... just, as you said, use the atmospere to scare the audience... i for one think its a cracking idea! not sure if it would sell as a movie though!

think back to the nightmares you had as a child, things you were always running away from but always seemed to find you anyway. for it to be truly scarey, you have to make people think that it really could happen. read steven king. he can give you some ideas, especially the book salem's lot.

Go for black and white photography.
Suspense is everything- what did Hitchcock say? "When you know a bomb is going to go off,that's not suspense.When you know but the guy on screen doesn't,THAT'S suspense".
Pick great music but don't overdo it.
Good luck, and scare 'em S****less.
