I'm writing a ghost story - full length novel - after years of reading them and loving them.
Personally I prefer a creepy atmosphere, and a more psychological fear. I'm not so into the gore. I also prefer it when the haunting isn't over-explained.
What makes a ghost story effective for you? And what are some over-done cliches you'd rather not see any more?
