The Minstrel Boy is my favorite ghost song. It was written by Thomas Moore. It is about a young musician that goes to war and dies before his time.

I totally agree, now that I've been reminded of it :)

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

I dig the original Aztec version of that.
Uhm.. La Llorona is a native US Southwest story...
I also dig the Aztec "Night Axe", where a person wandering around at night hears the sound of wood being chopped, and upon investigating, the person finds a decapitated corpse with a chest wound opening and closing fast enough to make the woodchopping sound. The victim must reach in and grab the apparition's heart and yank it out, or be driven hopelessly insane.

Story: Probably Macbeth. As the only ghostish story that comes to mind at this time of day.
What about Hamlet? ;):P
