If you really want a ghost song mix CD, maybe for your next Halloween party or Ouija board game, just for Friday the 13th, or a camping trip, we've got a ghost song play-list for you. Ghosts, spirits and haunted specters have been the subject of many pop and rock songs. After combing the archives, I've compiled the best of the ghostly tunes and haunted melodies. Out of hundreds of ghost songs found, these are the best. Here are the top 40 songs about ghosts from Top2040.com :1 - The Ghost in You by the Psychedelic Furs, a great 80's tune and the best ghost song ever penned.
2 - Ghosts by Stevie Nicks from "The Other Side of the Mirror" album. Mysteriously pretty.
3 - The Ghost Song by the Doors, a tune so smooth only Jim Morrison could it pull off.
4 - Ghost Rider by Rush (2002) from the Vapor Trails CD - a powerful, rich song.
5 - Old Ghosts by Jethro Tull from the Stormwatch album.
6 - Steven by Alice Cooper, from the CD Welcome to My Nightmare, the infamous ghost Steven who haunts many of Alice's songs.
7 - The Ghost of Tom Joad penned by Bruce Springsteen
8 - Came Back Haunted by Nine Inch Nails
9 - Ghost in Your Heart by Bad English (John Waite)
10 - Spirits in the Night performed by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, a ghost of a tune originally penny by Bruce Springsteen and recorded by him under the title Spirit (singular), but MMEB does it best.

12 - Ghost Town by Cat Stevens
13 - The Ghost by Fleetwood Mac from Bare Trees (the early days)
