Haunt the House

In Haunt the House you slip into the role of a ghost who is not at all happy about ghost hunters tramping through his house. Together with the other spirits you do everything you can to scare the living daylights out of these intruders. If you manage to frighten them out the door, you take their equipment as a trophy. Whoever spooks together the finest collection wins. Each ghost hunter only runs away from a certain combination of scary moments. On your turn you play out that scare, or you shout BOO! at the top of your voice. If you play your cards face down, you keep your plan a secret. If you lay them face up, you give something away, but you do gain the power of the room the hunter is standing in. If you shout BOO, you point at a ghost hunter, turn everything face up and finish him off if you have enough scares in hand. That hunter is gone, and his belongings are yours. Played the game a few times? Then you can try the advanced version with all kinds of Phantoms. These are allies you can bring in for powers that turn the whole game upside down. Perfect for an evening of shared chills at the table, with plenty of tension to keep everyone involved.
