Anne of Green Gables. It's a series, but the first one is most famous and can be read as a stand-alone book. It's a classic, written in 1908 by LM Montgomery, but it's language is fresh and easy to understand. I read it at 11, but it's not a child's book specifically. It can be enjoyed by all ages. I suppose it would appeal more to girls. It's about a fiesty, imaginative orphan girl and her struggle to find a place to call home. I'm 16 now and I STRONGLY recommend it. Seriously, my description didn't do it justice - it's AMAZING!

Alan Robsons Ghostly tales and Grisly tales and the follow up book they are both amazing
He is a well known talk show presenter from Newcastle with an interest in the paranormal. The books are short storys from different areas about the legends and history behind the hauntings, they are so atmospheric and engrossing. Better than any other ghost book I ever read. please get hold of them!
The Others is my fave ghost film too

The film It scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
I read the book as an adult and it had the same affect - read it on holiday in Fermanagh in the middle of nowhere surrounded by forest and felt nervy whenever my husband was outside and I was in the house on my own reading it. I kept going to the back door and shouting him to make sure he was still there!!

'The Turn Of The Screw' by Henry James. He introduces it as something supremely horrifying, and it doesn't disappoint.
It's a ghost story told by a fictional character, repeating what was told him by a person who was involved in the events. That teller (the governess) is a pleasant and sympathetic character, but as the tale progresses it becomes clear that she is unreliable . . . she is in fact the only person who sees the ghosts, which she assumes are visible to all; after all, they are plain to her in broad daylight. Her delusion leads to the dreadful abuse she unwittingly inflicts on the children she is minding, and eventually to the death of one of them.

hi there!
john connolly "nocturnes"
it's a collection of short stories, all of the macabre, but with a modern twist that gives it a steady pace. he's a great writer and when i read those stories at night i felt twelve years old again.
worth a read.

Some of the M R James ones are very spooky. They are usually quite clever.
