The Ghost and the Guest is a 1943 American film directed by William Nigh.
Webster Frye (James Dunn) and his newly-wed wife Jackie (Florence Rice) travel to an old house in the country for their honeymoon. They begin to think the house is haunted, but it turns out that the house is being used as a gangster hideout.
The Ghost and the Guest was the first film written by Morey Amsterdam, who had previously written lyrics for the film With Love and Kisses (1937). His screenplay was based on a story by Milt Gross.
Halliwell's Film Guide describes it as a "predictable, mildly amusing second feature comedy-thriller".
