Ghost horror games on PlayStation

In these games the dead have not left. You walk haunted houses, schools and roads where a pale figure waits at the end of a hall or appears behind you, and most of the time you cannot fight back. Some have you hunt spirits with cameras and EMF readers, others have you hide, hold your breath and slip past them, and a few keep their ghosts cute.
