for my own personal filing system - i DO lump it in with horror because it is a ghost story.
mainly because i group horror with fantasy .. for sake of ease.
(sci-fi is next to horror and often the 2 blend together.
one other thing to consider .. we're pretty jaded now but believe me the mention of the word ghost - pre Casper times - would automatically be considered horrifying.
with the exception of Weathering Heights - which some consider to be a ghost story.
