Oscar Wilde's "Canterville Ghost" is an even closer cousin. Like his Greek predecessor, this phantom is an old man with unkempt hair, dirty clothes and chains upon his arms and legs. He, too, comes in the dead of night, announced first by a clanking sound that grows increasingly loud. He appears to a calm, rational person, who discovers a chained skeleton in a secret chamber shown to her by the ghost. When the remains are buried, the ghost haunts Canterville Chase no more.

Scary ghost stories around a campfire are the traditional ending to a day at camp. Whether at a scout's first Webelos camp or a seasoned Boy Scout's high adventure, short stories told to the rest of the gang give a boy a chance to be the leader for a few minutes. Choosing an appropriate story can be a challenge - especially those about a scary ghost or horror. Remember that if somene is too scared to sleep, it will effect everyone the next day. It might be better to keep the stories funny or at least end with a couple of light-hearted tales.

On the weekend of August 19, 2005, at the 2005 Otakon anime convention, ADV Films announced an October 2005 release of Ghost Stories on DVD for North American distribution. The controversy stems from ADV's dubbed version, which largely re-writes the original script (while still leaving the basic plot structure and storyline intact) in favor a comedic one written by ADV scriptwriter Steven Foster, and lines that the voice actors ad-libbed. The original Japanese audio and literal subtitle translation are ... included on the DVD. A few fans lashed out against the ADV dub, charging that the company made too many edits for the dub simply for the sake of potential successful sales.
There are many ghost stories associated with this historic hotel, which served as a hospital during the Civil War. A young woman named Beth, who cared for the wounded soldiers, fell in love with one of her charges, John Stoves. He died, and Beth passed away just a few weeks later. Employees have reported seeing her ghost as she returns to Room 403, the room where Stoves died. Others tell of glimpsing a phantom horse looking for his master, a Union soldier shot in front of the building.
