Ghost Stories for Argument Project

This one will be different. You don't have to call a story in the comments. There are so many ghost stories in here that I'm not worried about the rick of repetition. 

You can pick stories from one book or from multiple books. You can do only one (some are super long) or a few or a lot of them. Your job is to gather and analyze enough stories to figure out some kind of pattern and what that pattern means. So there's a lot of choices to be made.
