What is "ghost stories"

n. (ghost story English)

, also known as Ghosts at School, is a 20-episode anime series created in 2000 by animation studio Pierrot and Aniplex for Fuji Television, based on a book series by Tōru Tsunemitsu.

The series was licensed for the North American market by ADV Films whose English dub replaced the original script with a comedic one. It was also aired in Latin America by Cartoon Network, which had broadcast the entire series unedited on October 1, 2005. The series was also picked up by the anime television network, Animax, who broadcast the series with a different English dub unedited and uncensored under the title Ghosts at School within its respective networks across the world in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and other regions.

Ghost Stories is a punk rock album by the Chicago, Illinois band The Lawrence Arms, released in 2000 by Asian Man Records. It was the band's second full-length album. With this release the band moved away from the political nature of some of their previous songs in favor of more introspective lyrics. Also, while singer/bassist Brendan Kelly had handled the majority of lead vocals on their previous album A Guided Tour of Chicago, on this album he and singer/guitarist Chris McCaughan split vocal duties almost equally. This singing style would continue throughout their next several albums, and eventually the two would begin to share lead vocals in an almost duet style.

Two of the album's tracks, "Turnstyles" and "The Old Timer's 2x4" were later re-recorded for the 2005 b-sides compilation album Cocktails & Dreams. All three hidden tracks were also re-released on that album. "Purple Haze" was later rewritten and re-recorded for the Shady View Terrace / The Lawrence Arms split EP as "Faintly Falling Ashes."

Ghost Stories is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, released on August 29, 2006. The first single released from the album was " All I Can Do". The second was "Wonderful" and the third was "Ghosts of You".

The album, produced entirely by Kreviazuk's husband, Our Lady Peace member Raine Maida, does not have a single guitar on any of the tracks. According to Kreviazuk, most of the album has a gospel theme to it.

The album debuted at #2 on the Canadian Albums Chart making it Chantal Kreviazuk's highest charting album of her career. Less than a month later the album was certified Gold by the CRIA.

On March 9, 2007, the album was released on the iTunes Store as Ghost Stories (With Interview Tracks), including additional songs and about 30 minutes of interviews with Kreviazuk.

Ghost Stories is an American horror anthology television series that ran from 1997 to 1998 on the cable channel FOX Family.

The show was narrated by Rip Torn and originally two episodes were presented back to back in an hour-long segment. However, towards the end of the series it was broken down into 30 minute episodes with just one story, most featuring a style similar to episodes of The Twilight Zone in which there would be a twist at the end.

There have been five DVD releases and is currently being shown in the United Kingdom on the TV channel Zone Horror.

Ghost Stories is a play written by Jeremy Dyson (of The League Of Gentlemen) and Andy Nyman (best known for his work with psychological illusionist Derren Brown). It premiered at the Liverpool Playhouse in February 2010 before being transferred for a longer run at the Lyric Hammersmith in London. It then transferred to the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End where it played from June 2010 to July 2011. The show re-opened at the Arts Theatre in February 2014 and is scheduled to be running until January 2015.

The play is notable for running only 80 minutes (with no interval) and for its publicised warnings advising against anyone under the age of 15 attending. The marketing of the show outside the theatre is unusual in that there are no production photographs, just stills and video monitors showing the shocked reactions of audience members. An announcement at the end of the play asks the audience to "keep the secrets of Ghost Stories" so that new audiences do not have the experience spoiled with any prior information about the play.

Ghost Stories is the last studio album by the Los Angeles-based alternative rock band The Dream Syndicate. It was released in 1988, just a year before the band broke up. The album was re-released in 2004, with eight additional tracks recorded live for radio.

Ghost Stories is the second album by the metalcore music group Silent Civilian, the follow-up to Rebirth of the Temple. It was released on May 18, 2010.

About the album, Jonny Santos was quoted as saying, "Musically, this record is very different from the last, but evolution is the key to longevity, in my eyes. I believe we are making a record that will retain what is the main essence of Silent Civilian, but maturing greatly pushing forward." Speaking about the darker themed lyrics, Santos explained "I went from being in a pretty solid relationship, having a house and a wife to sleeping on the recording studio floor and losing it all. I was in a really dark place when writing the lyrics to this record. I had a lot of animosity to certain people in my life at the time and it just reflected through my writing."

The album debuted at #21 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, moving roughly 1,600 copies during its first week of release.

The first single to be released off the album was "Last One Standing". The video depicts the band playing amid scenes of soldiers fighting and being attacked in a Middle Eastern environment, along with flashes of a suburban home-life. The video was shot by director Scott Hansen, who has previously worked with A Day to Remember, Alesana and A Skylit Drive.

Ghost Stories was a pulp magazine which published 64 issues between 1926 and 1932. It was one of the earliest competitors to Weird Tales, the first magazine to specialize in the fantasy and occult fiction genre. It was a companion magazine to True Story and True Detective Stories, and focused almost entirely on stories about ghosts, with many of the stories written by staff writers but presented under pseudonyms in a "true confession" style. These were often accompanied by faked photographs to make the stories appear more believable. Ghost Stories also ran original and reprinted contributions, including works by Robert E. Howard, Carl Jacobi, and Frank Belknap Long. Among the reprints were Agatha Christie's "The Last Seance" (under the title "The Woman Who Stole a Ghost"), several stories by H.G. Wells, and Charles Dickens' " The Signalman". The magazine was initially successful, but began to lose readers, and in 1930 was sold to Harold Hersey. Hersey was unable to reverse the magazine's decline, and Ghost Stories ceased publication at the start of 1932.

Ghost Stories is the sixth studio album by the British rock band Coldplay. Co-produced by the band with Paul Epworth along with returning Mylo Xyloto producers Daniel Green and Rik Simpson, it was released by Parlophone on 16 May 2014. The album was released by Atlantic Records in North America on 19 May 2014. It is the first album by the band in North America under Atlantic, after Coldplay were transferred from Capitol Records in 2013, following the purchase of EMI and its assets by the Universal Music Group in 2012.

The album was recorded by the band throughout 2013 and 2014 at the band's purpose-built home studios in London, England, and in Los Angeles. It features guest producers Avicii, Timbaland and Madeon, and the band's frequent collaborator Jon Hopkins. It was heavily promoted by the band and Parlophone in the lead-up to its release, with an accompanying prime time TV special, a visual album, and a special six-date promotional tour of the album, as well as various appearances on television and radio. The album was further promoted by five singles: " Magic", the lead single, released in March; " Midnight", released in April; " A Sky Full of Stars", released in May; " True Love", released in August; and " Ink", released in October. It was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Grammy Awards. At the 2015 Billboard Music Awards it was named Top Rock Album.

It is reported by several media outlets that Chris Martin has said that the album is about his and Gwyneth Paltrow's split in 2014.
