Imo theres a few things you can do

1. Make everything much MUCH darker almost to the point where you cant see the ghost. But make sure the eye shows. Also you could mute the colors thatbwould make things intresting

Like desaturate them?

Yeah try it out. What you could do is make a layer solid black or a dark blue and put it over the entire image then lower the transparency of the layer. And erase around the phone and face for the light source

I think this already works well because the ghost feels hidden rather than aggressive. To make it creepier, I'd make the ghost less human looking, hide more of it in shadow, and add subtle details that feel wrong at first glance. Horror often becomes stronger when the viewer notices things gradually.

Well, I don't make horror art as such yet, but I would say that it has to have "impact" not only in the story or what you want to convey, but that it has to have a "why" (depending on what you want to convey, obviously) I would also recommend exploring the things that make people most uncomfortable or give them the creeps!
