Some great old BBC Ghost Story episodes by M. R. James, a great British ghost author. They are spooky without the need for any special effects. They don't make them like they used to. Many say these are scarier than modern ghost movies.
This one is supposed to be the best, called "Whistle and I'll Come To You". It's supposed to be a benchmark by which all ghost stories should be measured by. There's a 1968 version and 2010 version. See below.

Simply dripping with atmosphere, this really is the benchmark by which every other supernatural film should be measured. And Michael Horden is wonderful.

I love these, more intense,less shallow,without the blaring music of more modern productions
Here's another good one called "A Warning to the Curious" from 1972. It's supposed to have a lot of dread and atmosphere.

For being under an hour this lovely little production produces more dread and spooky atmosphere than many feature films. I've watched this several times and it never fails to give me the chills.

This story is utterly gripping from start to finish. 1970's classic ghost film and Peter Vaughn plays the part very well. Without the special effects and sounds that you see in today's ghost shows , A warning to the curious really sends a shiver down the spine today as It did when it was first broadcast , love the chilling music and the William Ager bloke standing still in the distance really gave me the chills , also at the end when he is chasing mr paxman through the forest is also quite disturbing.
