I know this song has been posted, but I love this version!

A woman is visited by the ghost of her true love:

I think this one is an old poem that Kate Price wrote music for.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

 

[Ozimoto]

One from the Outlaws. A personal favorite.

Here's a different kind of ghost story. A bit of murder too, but only in self defense.

If you ever get a chance to see these two live, do it.

 

[Bigboote]

Here's one in which the ghost of the woman's true love visits her to tell her where his grave is. (Her father had killed the lover.)

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think it fits. Spirits, ghosts, haunting, ancients, but none in a scary or spooky way. And just such a lovely song. Pandora or You Tube should've put this sister duo on my radar years before they finally did. I kind of think of them as the American version of First Aid Kit (although not nearly as well known).

 

[Bigboote]

Here's another really old one, usually called the Twa Sisters. In this version there are actually three sisters; one kills another, and she becomes a harp.

I don't think I saw this posted, yet. It was the first that came to mind for me.

 

[tkaes]

Oops, EasyEd beat me to it.

 

[tkaes]

"... her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale..."

[Beemer]

I've probably put this one on here before.

Ghosts of Calico - Enter the Haggis

What a name for a band...Ladies & gentlemen, enter the sheep guts!!!

[Jackcatscal]

The Flying Dutchman.

 

[Ozimoto]

More about witches than ghosts, but a good Hallowe'en piece of music regardless.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Once a year Death plays a violin at the graveyard and the dead have a raging dance party.

 

[Husky25]

I like the Outlaws' version.

How about this though?

Tom Waits - Big Joe and Phantom 309
