A woman who is afraid of the dark learns that it is not being afraid of the unknown, it is being afraid of the unseen.
I'm not seeing a story here. You have only given us a character. The story is what happens to the character. For instance: "After the lights mysteriously go out in her high-rise apartment.

I’m not seeing a story here. You have only given us a character. The story is what happens to the character.
For instance: “After the lights mysteriously go out in her high-rise apartment. A woman with Nyctophobia must brave the dark in order to find her missing five-year-old daughter.”
Now we have a character (a woman afraid of the dark)
A situation (The lights go out)
A goal, (finding her daughter)
And conflict. (She must go into the dark even though she is afraid of it)
You add low batteries in her flashlight and you also have a time frame. she must find her daughter before the batteries run out.
Anyway that is just an example. Your story will be different but I hope you see how I put that together.
Hope that helped, good luck with this!

Interesting Idea, Sleepless in Seattle meets Casper the friendly ghost.

Interesting Idea, Sleepless in Seattle meets Casper the friendly ghost. (Or maybe parent trap meets poltergeist) I don’t think I have seen this movie before.
1) I wouldn’t start with “The story about…” besides the fact it should be “A story about…” it’s also unnecessary. Just start with “The Ghost of a 5-year-old”
2) Story is conflict. I am not seeing any conflict here. The ghost wants his mother to ‘be happy’ and I am sure the mom wants that as well. The logline should tell us who or what is standing in the way?
3) from your logine it appears that the Ghost is the lead character, if this is the case, then good. If the mom is the lead character, then the logline should be re-written to reflect that.
Hoped that helped, good luck with this.

“After the death of her son, supernatural occurrences begin haunting a lonely mother after she unknowingly starts dating her child’s killer.”
Some old-styled black magician migrants are suspected for the mysterious death of a boy, and their houses burnt down; but soon these good people turn back to life as the undead due to their powers and are hungry for revenge from the entire town.
Good point Nicholas. 'High plains drifter' had a similar situation (Man coming back from the dead to exact revenge on a town) but had a lead specific character.
