Here are a few of my favorites:
"Jerry Bundler" by W. W. Jacobs: A group of men sit up one Christmas attempting to scare one another with ghost stories...until one man tells a tale that seems to be coming true.
"Tarnhelm" by Hugh Walpole: A young boy is sent to Cumberland to spend Christmas with his uncles. He is haunted by dreams and waking visions of a ghastly yellow dog. Or is it just a dream?
"The Crown Derby Plate" by Marjorie Bowen: Martha Pym tells her cousin that she's never seen a ghost, but she would like to. When she hears that a neighbor of her cousin has a fabulous china collection, she decides to drop in for a visit--never suspecting that she just might get her wish.
"Wish You Were Here" by Basil Copper: When a man inherits an old family house and begins to restore it, he begins to receive musty antique postcards from a distant, dead relative which seem to herald an unearthly arrival.

I've read Tarnhelm before. The others you mentioned sound interesting enough. :)
