Who said ghosts can't be friendly?
Only a mention of ghosts is enough to send chill down our spines.
Now, we have seen bhoots, chudails and daayans in Hindi films, which have either terrorised us or given some unintended laughs.
But there have been some friendly ghosts too, who have entertained us and been quite likable.
