  Niagara On The Lake, Ontario, Canada. Home of MANY movie set stand ins (The Dead Zone, Trapped in Paradise, for example), and home to MANY ghosts- real ones, NO Hollywood here. This place WAS the capital of Upper Canada during the war of 1812.
  Where else can you visit three of the four major hotel properties in the vicinity (as well as many residences, pubs and churches that held the dying during said war), that actually tell its staff to shut up about the strange sounds and even stranger visuals (the forth is supposedly too new to have any, but it was built in a rather "unique" location)!?
  Been there, work there, seen some WEIRD stuff.
  Sorry for most likely going off topic, but its fun, huh?

      i'd love to talk about this more personally, but this is not the really the forum for it. It's not very musically or film related. I noticed you don't accept Email, so this would be hard to do (I'm not a spammer or any crap like that!).

          Not even vaguely pornographic; love #2, they threw more budget at that one.

  Try these:

  Chinese Ghost Story (HK)
  the Dust Devil (england)
  Kwaidan (jap)
  Nang Nak (thai)
  the Ring (jap)
  the Ring 2 (jap)
  the Shining

  Ring 0 is out, but I haven't seen it yet. I believe it must be as good as the first two (Ring 0 is the third in the series).

  I think I like the old classic 1939 version the best. Although the Timothy Dalton 1970 version is also good.

  I'll go out on a limb and recommend "The Lady In White," Frank LaLoggia's kinder, gentler ghost story.

  If you want a classic, try the Japanese film, "Kwaidan."

  I would try these:

  Ring - also known as Ringu, I thought it was quite scary with no gore.

  Screams in a Winters Night - I have heard nothing but good things about it

  The Entity - Now a little dated, was really scary back in 1981.

  Hi,
  things like Beetlejuice, Switch,Topper, and Heaven Can Wait spring to mind. But i wonder if you mean a light hearted 'Boo, I scared ya' kinda flick. Perhaps Blithe Spirit?
