One of Gordon Lightfoot's songs, " If You Could Read My Mind" has a phrase

"...just like an old time move 'bout a
ghost from a wishing well..."

I want to know if this is only the words to the song or was he really was inspired by a movie about a ghost from a wishing well ? If so, what was the name of the movie ? It would be fun to watch an old ghost movie if it inspired a classic song such as this.

Thanks,
Stormy
