Helpful Vocabulary for a Ghost Story

1. Words That Set the Mood

o A truly horrifying story establishes an eerie atmosphere right from the
beginning. An effective writer will send signals to the reader that the story
will be scary and depressing using such vocabulary as gloomy, somber,
dreary, forbidding and creepy. You can also ascribe scary
characteristics to inanimate objects to heighten the mood. Buildings can
appear intimidating and a forest can look menacing.

Words That Evoke the Five Senses

o A tale is even scarier when readers can see, hear, touch, taste and smell things
in the story. A place can exude an acrid, pungent or choking stench.
The protagonist can hear strange clanking sounds or a scary character can
speak in a dark, steely, sepulchral, sibilant or guttural voice. Use
hues such as pitch-black and ebony to describe things that are dark. A
drink or item of food can taste sour, fetid, foul or rancid. Objects can
feel slimy or grimy.

Words That Heighten Suspense

o H. P. Lovecraft, a famous American horror novelist, wrote that the strongest
kind of fear is fear of the unknown. A writer can increase fear in a reader by
not giving away every detail of a monster, ghost or place. Establishing
something as mysterious builds suspense, as the reader fills in the blanks with
his own imagination and desires to continue reading to find out more.
Ambiguous descriptions, such an amorphous creature, hazy air, opaque
waters, tenebrous valley or unintelligible sound create a disturbingly
unfamiliar atmosphere for the reader.
Words That Show Fear
o A scary story needs a protagonist frightened out of her wits. Words like
horrified, horror-struck, petrified, panic-stricken, appalled,
witless and aghast will do; however, representing the signs of a
protagonist fears are even better. Perhaps she has droplets of sweat on her
forehead, her knees are knocking or she is trembling, quivering,
shuddering, quailing or quaking. You can describe her as transfixed
or paralyzed in place.
