We have had humorous ghost stories, so feel free to add your own selection
OOO! I'm squeaking into this collection too!
Here is "The Diary of A Madman" by Guy de Maupassant:
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ghohor040_diaryofmadman_maupassant_ljb_128kb.mp3
Text: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3087/3087-h/3087-h.htm#link2H_4_0006
Duration: 21:12
N.B.:
At about 1:28, I say "the recesses of their soul...." The text actually says "the recesses of their souls...."
This was a grievous error on my part.
But I don't think it changes the meaning, so I left it as is.
I hope it's OK...LJB

The Parrot
By Guy de Maupassant
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ghohor040_parrot_demaupassant_ag_128kb.mp3
Length: 12:39
Text Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/3084/3084-h/3084-h.htm#link2H_4_0018
Let me know if anything needs an edit! My French pronunciation isn't the best, but I think I managed the handful of names / places...
Just one edit needed, at around 6:10, after you say "2", there's a sentence missing "One night, when her husband was at sea, she was suddenly awakened by the wild roaring of the wind"

Which text did you use? The text source provided does not match the text recorded, so I can't be sure if my PL notes are valid. So I had better check the text you used.

I just now clicked on the gutenberg text link given above, and it went right to it.
It's in Gutenberg's "Original Short Stories, Volume 11 of 13" by Maupassant: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3087/3087-h/3087-h.htm

The text link works, but the wording does not match the one in your recording. Is that the text you used? That IS weird...
Here's my contribution;

I had flagged the wrong text!
It was actually another of Gutenberg's prodigious output: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/593/593-h/593-h.htm#chap25
Now my only complaint is that this particular recording sounds horribly melodramatic.
O well...

Good evening -
I just uploaded the following:
Title: A Grammatical Ghost
Author: Elia Wilkinson Peattie (1862-1935)
Text URL: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1876/1876-h/1876-h.htm#link2H_4_0012
Duration: 13:24

Another squeaker!
Here is "The Last of Mrs. deBrugh" by H. Sivia:
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ghohor040_lastofmrsdebrugh_sivia_ljb_128kb.mp3
Text: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32468
Duration 18:35
N.B.:
I found at least 4 ways "deBrugh" can be pronounced. I chose the easiest, "deBROO."
N.B. also:
At about 1:47, I say "...what any ordinary human would do for such a kind employer...."
The text says "...what any ordinary human would do to such a kind employer...." -- which doesn't make sense to me, so I changed it.
...LJB
