When I think about telling ghost stories, I think about sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows, telling spooky tales with a torch under my chin before retiring to my tent for the night. Despite the fact that that isn't an activity I've ever taken part in, ever, it just feels like the perfect way to share a scary story, especially with the sounds of the forest rustling around you and the stars overhead. Well, even if you're not in the forest, telling short ghost stories is a brilliant way to pass the time, so we've rounded up some of the very best ghost stories for adults from around the internet that are sure to give you a fright.

Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside.
