PLOT AND BACKSTORY

All good Ghost stories consist of two tales. The first is the past tragedy which keeps the ghost haunting in search of atonement or vengeance. The second is about the person whose life gets thrown off course when the ghost intervenes.

The Ghost story needs more pre-planning than most other dark fiction, because you need to weave these two strands together.

The human’s story which takes place in the current time is probably the main plot. The ghost’s story is ‘backstory’, revealed perhaps in dialogue when the ghost talks, or in the narrative when the human researches the history of the place.
