I See Dead...?

I've had an idea kicking around for a while now, and my recent fish- related tragedy has pushed me over the edge into actually asking about it.
Not to go to far into details, but does anyone here know of any films (or for that matter, just stories) about ghosts, of things than human beings?

I should read what I link to before I link to it.
This is what I remember.
"The Pooka is a ghost horse in Crewel Lye, a fantasy novel by Piers Anthony."

If you go with the theory that ghosts are recordings of the past somehow captured by the fabric of buildings or the landscape, then said ghosts can, I suppose, be of almost anything, though the replaying of a particular event - rather than just the person or people involved in it - might be the most productive: the train wreck, the plane crash, the murder-by-bludgeoning, the march-past of a mighty

Dang that was exactly what I was going to mention but you beat me to it especially the ending of Stone Tapes, with the notion that they somehow tuned the frequency "way back" far
