EDIT: Quick reminder, you have to nominate specific stories! Broad things like 'Egyptian Mythology' instead of a specific myth or 'Murder Ballads' will have to be queried and then possibly rejected. It helps if you link me the source to the story you're using too for the spreadsheet I make of sources, but that's not a requirement!

So on my #3, I found a specific story here: http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2009/05/phantom_diner.html

I'm not wedded to the location, but I love the whole "we went back and the place had been gone for 20 years" sort of story.

There's also Return to Glennascaul which has a Wiki entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Glennascaul AND the movie itself is available on YouTube (about 22 mins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59yMEgjY-1w BUT I don't like it as much because it also drags in the "vanishing hitchhiker".

Of my options, I think I prefer the first one since it's concise and in one place.

Tag 'em with (Ghost Story) after their names?

[crantz]

You still planning to do this? Deadline is in a few days.

[desertvixen]

Yes, I was kind of waiting to see what else people put up (plus indecision!).

I went with the Ocean-Born Mary and Room for One More, and then the Lady Lovibond story I've put up the other 2 years. (I decided to give Ariadne and the Sacrificial Maidens a break this year and the Phantom Passenger as well.)

[crantz]

Excellent! I was hoping you'd nominate some ghost stories - I really enjoy them.

[desertvixen]

I LOVE this exchange, it always helps me stretch and do something I'm not used to.

And I love good ghost stories! These two also appear in a book together, but it's sadly not on google books.

(whispers) Can we pretty-please have another fandom next year? We promise we'll be good.

[crantz]

WELL you asked really nicely so sure. Next year 4 nominations.

[desertvixen]

Yay!
