HOW Can I Fit The Theme Of "DECEPTION" Into A Ghost Story?

[Riley Owen]

I need help! I'm writing a short film for a film competition and theme is "deception". But I can't think of a way to fit it into a ghost story. Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

Man and Woman are out on a long drive. They stop in abandoned house. They stay for night because car breaks down. They try to spend the night, but weird things keep happening. Man says they should go, woman says they should stay. Why? Because she is actually the ghost, and this is her forced habitat. She deceived him to get him there for her devilish purposes. You fill in the rest!

Your best friend has been a ghost the whole time, yet he couldn't tell you and thus you were deceived by him. Yet this could be a heartwarming story of friendship and love.

Well, you could have the ghost's death being cause by some form of deception.

Or you could write about a bunch of ghosts playing Mortal Kombat: Deception...

A haunting that isn't really a haunting. It's someone pulling a revenge prank or something.
