What are the best ghost stories to read aloud?

  • What are the best ghost stories, urban legends, or other fun creepy/scary tales to tell or read aloud to a group of friends? Most of the ones you find in old anthologies of Victorian-style ghost stories aren't quite right for this purpose, since they're long or have rambling preambles about how you wouldn't believe this actually happened but it did. The ideal ghost story/urban legend would be one that:  - is fairly short  - is spooky/scary even to our jaded modern ears  - gets into the action quickly

It sounds like you're looking for stories that are more akin to modern urban legends than old-fashioned ghost stories.  American Folklore has a number of there - http://www.americanfolklore.net/spooky-stories.html. It might also be that some of the classic tales can be retold - The Tell-Tale Heart, for example - http://www.thewonderemporium.org/stories/tales-on-tape-03-the-tell-tale-heart-edgar-allan-poe/?doing_wp_cron=1356737511.0456349849700927734375 and full text here:  http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2148/2148-h/2148-h.htm#link2H_4_0019. Edgar Allan Poe's tales are quite short, but even shorter and more creepy are Saki's - http://www.gutenberg.org/files/269/269-h/269-h.htm - perhaps more adult in nature, but short and disturbing.
