While I've seen a fair share of male ghosts (Casper, Slimer from Ghostbusters, Toshio from The Grudge), most of the female ghosts were TERRIFYING AS HELL.
The Ring, The Grudge, One Missed Call, hell, even the female ghosts from the 6th sense were creepy.
Yet for some reason, the male ghosts aren't really that scary to me. Come to think of it, most main antagonists who have been ghosts have mainly been female.
Quick, someone tell me THE most terrifying male ghost ever.
I never found headless horseman scary for some reason. If I ran into one in real life though, I'd probably be terrified. Double so if I ran into a female ghost, especially the ones depicted in movies.
In the Grudge, there was that little boy who puked cats. He was quite creepy! I don't know why girls are creepier or why they use them the most, but it works!
I don't know, he's a possessed DOLL though right? I mean, his SPIRIT resides in the doll, but once he is in the doll, does he technically count as a ghost anymore?
people already know what men are capable of doing when alive, so when they die they become less scarey. Women on the other hand are sneaky and hide their true intentions so when they become a ghost you know things can only get worse as they no longer need to fear.
Women are often attached to being emotional so most ghost stories use extremely powerful emotions to tether the dead to the Earth thus most ghost stories make sense with female specters versus male ones.
