I agree with most of the ones you picked, let me add 5 others.

THE OTHERS (2001)
CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944)
KWAIDAN (1964)
THE SIXTH SENSE (1999)
THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE (2001)

Would Freddy Krueger technically be a ghost?

MAGIC? You mean the Anthony Hopkins killer dummy movie? Not a ghost story, I didn't think...

5. HOUSE (1977) Insane surreal Japanese ghost story.

Once again, my brain fails to work in this subgenre driven-style. However HAUSU is my #1 on almost any list.  Smile

When we did  favorite filmmakers some weeks back I thought about including Nobuhiko Obayashi. But in truth I've only seen two of his films. (They're hard to track down!) But I've seen HAUSU like 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time.

And incidentally BEETLEJUICE would be my #2.   Wink

In no order....

The Haunting
The Changeling
The Others
The Sixth Sense
The Shining
Paranormal Activity
Carnival of Souls
The Devil's Backbone
The Masque of the Red Death, animated, Spanish, done a few years ago.
(I canNOT think of this one's name but I'd say 1940s, British, the starring actress used the word "shan't" a lot, and her mom was the ghost named Camille. Hey, I was only about eight when I saw it but I never forgot it.)

^I believe the film in question is the UNINVITED (1944). The mother ghost was Carmel.

Here's a trailer-

I believe you are right.  Thumbup

I saw that on a local station's afternoon movie in 1987 and it stayed in my mind.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
