The Awakening
If you like your ghost stories to be a little more mysterious then this English tale of a ghost debunker searching for her dead husband is right up your alley. It's very British, so there's a lot of staring and pregnant pauses. If you're into that kind of thing you'll be in heaven with The Awakening.
Haunter
Hey look, it's Abigail Breslin playing a ghost! Neat. Haunter is a pretty interesting twist on the haunted house genre, and it explores a lot of the same territory as the first season of American Horror Story, but with much less camp. If that sounds like something you've been waiting your whole life for then you'll definitely like this movie, but you won't love it.

Dead Silence
This movie gets a bad rap as James Wan's lackluster follow up to the original Saw, but time has been kind to Dead Silence. What once seemed like a not-so-scary movie about the ghost of a ventriloquist haunting an entire town now plays like a genre exploration that let Wan get his ya-yas out before moving on to direct much more critically acclaimed (and scary) films.
We Are Still Here
If you like you modern horror to directly pay homage to horror films of the '70s and '80s then look no further than We Are Still Here, a movie that combines ghosts, small town cults, and people catching on fire in the worst ways imaginable. It's pretty good.
