AIBU?

To think that a classic ghost story, with classic ingredients, DOES NOT INCLUDE A TOWER!

Towers with secret doors are FOR FAIRYTALES.

Not ghost stories.

You are very wrong.

All ghost stories have a tower with a secret door, THAT MUST NOT BE OPENED IN A THUNDERSTORM

Ghost stories involve broken down cars in the middle of no where and phones that either lose battery or signal.

FACT.

But where else do they keep the pesky mad women who break out and roam the house on a stormy night?

Thank you.

If not a tower, than an attic, which is a bit like a tower.

Also basements or attics can be involved. No towers. Only her with the long hair has a tower.

I think, squoosh, you'll find you are making the elementary mistake of confusing a ghost story with mid 19th century quasi-gothic literature.

The best ghost stories are in big fuck off houses with towers.

Phones? SP ,no phones in the olden day ghost stories.
