A great writer of strange stories is Pu Songling / P'u Sung-ling and his work Liaozhai Zhiyi /
Liao-chai chih-i is very famous (I am not familiar with the stories, though).

This is Lafcadio Hearn's book "Some Chinese Ghosts" which he wrote in the late nineteenth century.
Hearn lived in Japan for many years right after the country opened up to westernization, primarily
wrote about Japan, and he is still a popular figure there, but he put out some items on Chinese
legends as well. His material is still a good read, as I think you'll discover if you look at this
book.
