NGC Recs Ghost Stories
Stories involving ghosts, poltergeists, or similar paranormal incidents, including things that act like ghosts even if they actually aren’t. (Including plot twists that it wasn’t actually a ghost at the end, as long as the buildup was suitably spooky.)
A character simply being a ghost won’t necessarily qualify it for this collection. Emphasis on their ghostly nature would.

Turns out the HR department may have had a point when they said don't bring your work home with you, and not just in the metaphorical sense. In his defense, it's not like he was trying to get anyone cursed.

Summary
If Victor had listed important facts about himself, he’d have started with things like, ‘bestselling fantasy author,’ ‘great hair,’ ‘extrovert,’ ‘dog lover,’ and (if nobody else was listening) ‘lonely’.
Honestly, ‘a little bit psychic’ would have come pretty low down the list, even if he’d dreamed of actually telling anyone.
Or: the one where Victor meets the ghost of a poodle.

Summary
The man is in Lan Zhan’s bed. Did they—he begins to wonder, eyes trailing to where the man’s body lies under the blanket. Had Lan Zhan—?
Then the sleep-fog clears and Lan Zhan realizes that the young man isn’t quite opaque around the edges.
“You’re a spirit.”
The spirit narrows its eyes. “I’m so much more than that.”
(Lan Zhan buys a guqin off eBay for a suspiciously low price, only to find that it’s haunted. And now there’s a ghost in his bed.)

Summary
Castiel Novak is twenty-six years old when he's killed in the Civil War. The first soul to be laid to rest in the grounds of the new Lawrence Memorial Cemetery, his spirit remains in a liminal space—not in the living world, but not passing on, forever tasked with helping other spirits to go where he cannot.
His vigil over the grounds of his cemetery is a long and lonely one, unable to interact with anyone who still remains in the land of the living.
Until he meets Dean Winchester.
