Heard the one about the 17th Century South Tyneside ghost with a fondness for wide brimmed hats. Or the tale of the cemetery poltergeist who raised fears in West Boldon 60 years ago this year.
Both are included in our selection of 13 South Tyneside spirited tales for Halloween.
The tales are also included in the online Paranormal Database which is full of ghoulish tales from across the UK.
The Paranormal Database was set up by Darren Mann and it is packed with interesting stories. Find out more here.

Or perhaps you would like to tell us about other types of nostalgia you would want to see in our retro section.
It might be memories of your favourite shop, club, nightclub or restaurant. Maybe you want to get back in touch with former workmates from a factory, or with pals who you went to school with.
Or perhaps you would like to share memories of a sporting occasion in the past which you would like to revisit.
