I looking for an anthology or collection of ghost stories published in the 1980s (I think). One of the stories was about an orphaned girl who blamed everything she got in trouble for on an imaginary friend, but was disbelieved. At the end of the story you find out that at sunset an evil spirit, identical to the girl, but dressed in orange (sunset colors) flies into the home and locks the innocent girl in (I think her name was Ivy). I believe another story in the collection featured a teacher who was haunted by the ghost of a student she had punished by making her stand in the "corner" of a playground, but the student was killed when a tornado hit and she was the only child that hadn't known to seek shelter...it seems, vaguely, that the collection had a black cover with red lettering, I believe it was published in the 1980s (I know I read it in grade school, and I think it was in the 'New Fiction' section), and I think it was around 12 stories long. I don't know if it was by one author or an anthology, but I do know that I've been trying to find it for about 20 years with no luck. Please help! Thank you.
