There is nothing more wonderful than relaxing to a ghost story at the end of a long day. Personally, I try to keep myself to reading just one a night, but it is difficult not to sneak in a second story before heading to bed.
Fortunately, there are plenty of free online ghost stories and collections of ghost stories that you can read in your browser (no downloads). Enjoy!
