Writer Jonathan Stroud explains why he thinks ghost stories are good for you.
"While it may seem odd that it's pleasurable to be frightened, it's actually - like other activities that get the heart racing - a celebration of being alive. While so much around us is frankly mind-numbing, there's something pure and bracing about a nicely delivered scare."
Producer: Sheila Cook.
