Recommendation for Best Haunting/Ghost Story 2012:
I don't know if this qualifies or not -- the overall article came out in 2012, but the cases exhibited go back some years. I found it kind of fun nonetheless: http://www.mandatory.com/2012/09/26/10-ghost-story-hoaxes/
It wasn't exactly big news, though. I don't recall any ghost stories outside of the old standby leukemia hospitals that were, to be frank, but I don't look out for them much either. It would have to be pretty big news to make it past my filters.
Thanks very much for not picking an episode from one of those SYFY television shows, "Ghost Hunters" or "GH in Rennes le Chateau" or whatever. Those things give me sinusitis.
