Some things are left undisturbed, but curiosity usually wins out over wisdom, and that's when things go wrong.
An Episode of Cathedral History is a ghost story by English writer M. R. James, first published 1914. The story is set in Southminster Cathedral and unfolds through a framing narrative. A scholar, Mr. Lake, is sent to examine the cathedral’s archives in 1890 and lodges with the elderly principal verger, Mr. Worby. One night, Worby recounts a chilling tale from his youth in 1840, during a controversial Gothic Revival renovation. When workers removed the pulpit, they uncovered a fifteenth-century altar-tomb with a gap in its slabs. After the tomb is disturbed, strange events follow: people fall ill, die, and are haunted by a red-eyed, hairy creature described as “a thing like a man, all over hair, and two great eyes to it.” The creature is linked to the Latin inscription on the tomb: "Ibi Cubavit Lamia" ("Here lay the Lamia").  Two classic Victorian stories of occult detectives. | Narrator and Producer Marlene Pardo Pellicer

Green Tea is a Gothic horror short story by Irish author J. Sheridan Le Fanu published in 1869. The narrative is framed through the recollections of Dr. Martin Hesselius, a physician and occult investigator who becomes involved in the case of Reverend Mr. Robert Lynder Jennings, a respected clergyman plagued by mysterious health issues and a growing obsession with a spectral, red-eyed monkey. Jennings claims the creature—resembling a small, jet-black primate—follows him everywhere, its malevolent gaze and eerie presence intensifying after he begins drinking green tea, a beverage he believes has disrupted his nervous system and opened an "interior sight" to supernatural forces.

Two classic ghost stories about places where the dead have driven the living out, and where angels fear to tread, and the over imaginative as well.
My Own True Ghost Story by Rudyard Kipling: "...but you must behave reverently toward a ghost, and particularly an Indian one. There are, in this land, ghosts who take the form of fat, cold, pobby corpses, and hide in trees near the roadside till a traveler passes. Then they drop upon his neck and remain. There are also terrible ghosts of women who have died in child-bed. These wander along the pathways at dusk, or hide in the crops near a village, and call seductively. But to answer their call is death in this world and the next. Their feet are turned backward that all sober men may recognize them. There are ghosts of little children who have been thrown into wells. These haunt well curbs and the fringes of jungles, and wail under the stars, or catch women by the wrist and beg to be taken up and carried. These and the corpse ghosts, however, are only vernacular articles and do not attack Sahibs. No native ghost has yet been authentically reported to have frightened an Englishman; but many English ghosts have scared the life out of both white and black." Number Ninety is a ghost story by B. M. Croker, originally published in the Christmas Number of Chapman's Magazine of Fiction in 1895. The story follows John Hollyoak, a skeptical man who accepts a wager from friends to spend a night in a notoriously haunted house, number ninety, located in the vicinity of Charleston's Battery in South Carolina. 
After the midnight hour there is no place to escape when the dead come calling.
When I Was Dead is a short story by Vincent O'Sullivan, first published in his 1896 anthology A Book of Bargains.

Included in the anthology is The Business of Madame Jahn a macabre ghost story. It features a reanimated corpse and explores themes of suicide, murder, and revenge. O'Sullivan's works are characterized by their decadent and morbid tone.
