Ghost Story is a 1981 American horror film directed by John Irvin and based on the 1979 book of the same name by Peter Straub. It stars Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., John Houseman and Craig Wasson (in a dual role). It was the last film to feature Astaire, Fairbanks, and Douglas (who died four months before the film's release), and the first film to feature Michael O'Neill. The film was shot in Woodstock, Vermont, Saratoga Springs, New York and at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida.
The plot is taken from the novel of the same name by Straub, but greatly changes and simplifies it.
In a small New England town, four elderly friends form what they call the Chowder Society, an informal club where they regale each other with scary stories. Membership in the club, in fact, requires that one present such a story. The four friends are: Ricky Hawthorne, a business owner; Sears James, a lawyer; Dr. John Jaffrey; and Edward Charles Wanderley, the town's mayor.

ghost stories,ghost story,ghost story coldplay
I've seen how you tremble whenever he walks through your mind
Stirring up mem'ries that cloud up your eyes
Where the light of our love ought to shine
I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad he must have been going insane
Now I finally learned how to hold you together when somebody mentions his name
He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you he's not really there like he seems
And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close
I'll love him right out of your dreams
I'm sure that he's called you and told you that our love can't last
But don't you believe him cause honey he's wrong he's never been right in the past
So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies he just can't admit that you're free
The next time he calls you just hand me the phone and see if he'll say that to me
He's just a ghost story...
He's just a ghost story...
