Carnival of Souls

Carnival of Souls is a ghost movie classic.

Mary Henry is enjoying the day by riding around with two friends but everything goes wrong when challenged to a drag race and their car gets forced off of a bridge. The car sinks into the murky depths, and all three women are assumed drowned. Some time later Mary emerges unscathed from the river. She tries to start a new life by becoming a church organist but Mary finds herself haunted by a ghostly figure that instills fear and dread into her.

Between the creepy gentleman who appears periodically in different scenes and the eerie organ music, this feature has a very surreal quality. It's one of the more famous ghost movies.
