There's a type of ballad, which might be called
haunting. Not a house of ghosts, but in memory, the
singer is haunted by a memory he can't shake off.
These can be moving, depending on both the song and performer.

For instance, listen to Merl Haggard do "Ken River", which
epitomizes the genre.

So, which GDead songs fall into this category?
