"After a little chatting she told me very expressively that the house was haunted." I might add a little after to display how she was expressing the story (Vocally with inflections and tones or physically with hand gestures). You mention it a bit later with: "The words "horrible" and "leering" got enunciated to the point of comedy." but that's after multiple paragraphs.

Capitalization: This one's going to take a bit of research, but I don't know if you capitalize the word Giant as it's not a proper noun and doesn't directly refer to a specific mythological creature. ""A giant ghost? A ghost Giant?"" and "It makes sense though. The tribe that used to live here believed their ancestors were Giants."" (Sea nymphs aren't typically capitalized but Nereids are if that helps make a little sense of my confusion.)

Punctuation: A number of times you're forgetting to use punctuation before dialogue. "I said(,/:) "That sounds more like sibling rivalry than haunting."", "She said(,/:) "I thought at first one of them had to have thrown it but I thought about it later and it was so loud it had to have hit the house harder than a child could throw it."", "I brought up(,/:) "They coulda spun around with the shovel 'til it built up a lot of force and then let it go."", etc.

The colloquial lines "They coulda spun around with the shovel 'til it built up a lot of force and then let it go." and "I woulda gone on assuming the haunting story was chaff if it weren't for this next thing." feel a bit at odds with lines like: "I was polite of course. I listened to the whole farfetched story without saying anything seriously incredulous.  I expressed mild shock and terror at the appropriate parts.  When our little ghost discussion came to a close I wished her good luck against the dark and mysterious forces and then I rode off and never saw her again." that come off as a bit more formal.It's not really noticeable, but given that most of the story is told through dialogue, it did confuse me to the point where I was wondering if I missed a line and was reading the woman's line.

All in all, I like the story. I think you do a great job building to the ending. If I were to make any suggestions, I might include a little bit more on the giants to drive home the effectiveness of the ending.
