Looking for something to get in the Haunted mood? Here’s a list of songs compiled by the DLR team to invoke the ghosts of inspiration.

1. “Bronte” by Gotye

We will be with you. You will stay with us.

2. “Ghost” by Ingrid Michaelson

I didn’t even cry/’Cause pieces of me had already died/I’m a ghost/Haunting these halls

3. “Haunt (Demo)” by Bastille

I come back to haunt you,/Memories will taunt you,/And I will try to love you,/It’s not like I’m above you

4. “Dead Boy’s Poem” by Nightwish

“I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you, I’m sorry”

5. “Haunted” by Radical Face

I think we’re haunted/(Clouds are coming down the chimney)/That we’re never alone/(And trees are growing through the living room)

6. “I Died So I Could Haunt You” by Stars

Thousands of ghosts in the darkness/Lost in a strange neighborhood/The lights from the warm houses haunt them/They forgot what they lost/But they know it was good

7. “Say You’ll Haunt Me” by Stone Sour

Say you want to stay, you want me to/Say you’ll never die, you’ll always haunt me/I want to know I belong to you/Say you’ll haunt me

8. “Little Ghost” by The White Stripes

Little ghost, little ghost/One I’m scared of the most/Can you scare me up a little bit of love?

9. “The Woods” by Daughter

And I pray a lot for you/And I look out for you/We are what we are/Don’t need no excuses

10. “Ghosts That We Knew” by Mumford and Sons

But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view/We’ll live a long life/So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light/’Cause oh that gave me such a fright

11. “Cemetery” by Say Anything

You’re in my body/That’s where I think about you

12. “Little Talks” by Of Monsters And Men

You’re gone, gone, gone away/I watched you disappear/All that’s left is the ghost of you.

The ghost who walks/she’s on the prowl/for the man she loved

14. “The Ghost Is Here” from Scooby Doo On Zombie Island

Oh the ghost is here/it’s our frightening task/to face our fears

15. “Haunted House Blues” by Bessie Smith

Don’t bring no ghosts in the front, hurry ’em round to the backdoor!/This house is so haunted with dead men I can’t lose/This house is so haunted with dead men I can’t lose/And a sneaky old feeling gives me those haunted house blues

16. “Lighthouse” by The Hush Sound

There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down/You and I will be safe there/There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse

17. “She Walks Through Me” by Alex Day

I met this girl from the other side/All kind of pale, dressed in black and white./She’s not the same,/Quite different from any other girlfriend/I’ve had.
