Ufff... Anything on french romantic organ music is haunting and marvelous... Widor, Pierné, Duruflé, Franck... All them have beautiful original music.

From the late 78rpm era: Charlie Barnet's Gloomy Sunday kinda gives me the chills.

Re: What are the most haunting 78s you own (or have heard)?
I agree with so many of the offerings listed...
Here is my most "haunting" piece:
Jussi Björling, tenor, sings Pearl Fishers Duet with Robert Merrill, baritone; "Au Fond du Temple Saint" Act I. Bizet. on a 12" recording. Lots of other recordings, but this is the classic. You can find it on YouTube. His Master's Voice D.B.21426
