A wet ghost could definitely be scary. I’ve seen The Fog.

72. Dark Matter – Michelle Paver

Jack, Gus, and Algie go out to Gruhuken to do some meteorological expeditioning in the Arctic right before the onset of World War II. The Norse boat captain that’s dropping them off tries to warn them off Gruhuken and won’t exactly explain why and when they do get there, no one really wants to help them unload and all the sailors stay each night on the boat instead of on land with the expeditioners. This should cause some dread, but it really didn’t for me. It’s a perfunctory Arctic ghost story, but without much at stake because once Gus gets appendicitis and Algie goes with him back to have surgery in not the arctic wilderness and Jack is alone, the only entities Jack’s clinging to are his crush on Gus and the one dog who likes him, Isaak. No offense, Jack, but one lonely man going mad in the wilderness who totally has enough food and gets saved right away once he accidentally burns the cabin down trying to get away from the wet ghost of a rightfully ragey and apparently unsightly man is not very scary. Unfortunately.

 

Danger Crumples and Horace couldn’t warn each other off the pillow, so, now they’re stuck just like Arctic explorers in a haunted cabin. Or are they?
