For years I have been looking for a paperback book my friend had from the late '70s or early '80s. It had a two-word title, something like Ghostly Terrors or Horrors, and the cover featured a dark illustration of a horse-drawn carriage. Something about the way the stories were written cut to the bone - it was one of the most terrifying collections I have ever read. It was apparently aimed at young adults, but I wouldn't have given it to anyone under 18! Some of the stories were -
A woman traveling at night stops at a hotel and sees a woman in her room. She looks in the closet and discovers a skeleton.
A man traveling by foot at night runs into a man who is revealed to have no face. He flees and meets another man who, ultimately, is shown to have no face as well.
A man meets up with a friend he thought was dead. The first man becomes drunk and the second puts him on his horse which races off into the night. The man wakes up to find himself on a monument in a cemetery.
Something about a man who is cruel to animals being lead to his death by giant black cats
A manor house haunted by a woman and her child

Could it be published by Scholastic? You could search ebay for cover images. I'm trying to but this internet is too slow... :/

Scholastic is possible - I'd do a cover search but the title has me totally baffled. I went to the library and searched Ghostly Terrors/Horrors in a huge supernatural fiction reference book and came up with nothing.

I looked earlier (at last) but couldn't find a cover matching your description. Unfortunately ghost story collections aren't my forte, though I have read one or two.

Solved! It's "Chilling Ghost Stories" - a Scholastic

Chilling Ghost Stories by Bernhardt J. Hurwood to link it... ah I might've seen that cover on ebay once; it wasn't there when I checked the other day. Glad you found it!
