Ignores message sent by conservative which is fairly hair-raising (5-5)

'sent by conservative which is fairly hair-raising' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'ignores message' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'message' could be 'story' (story is a kind of message) and 'story' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ghost' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
