*Elegie in e-flat minor, Op. 3, No. 1 - Sergei Rachmaninoff
*Piano Concerto in G major, second movement (Adagio Assai) - Maurice Ravel
*Pavane pour une infante defunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) - Maurice Ravel
*Sonata in G minor, Opus 7, No. 3, third movement - Muzio Clementi
*Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, first movement - Sergei Rachmaninoff
*Prelude, Opus 32, No. 12, in G-sharp minor - Sergei Rachmaninoff
*Nocturne in e minor, Opus 72, No. 1 - Frederic Chopin
*Romance in F sharp Major, Op. 28, No. 2 - Robert Schumann
Pretty much anything by Rachmaninoff, I really like his prelude. A few of my favorites (that are somewhat haunting) are:
Op. 23, No. 4
Op. 32, No. 5
Op. 32, No 12
And, this one is overused (as is Moonlight Sonata) but is still haunting and gorgeous - Op. 3, No. 2 (Prelude by Rachmaninoff).

Almost anything by Chopin, but here are a few of my favorites. I won't go into detail on each one, but they are all unbelievably beautiful and definitely fit your description of haunting.
Chopin: Waltz no. 8 in C-sharp minor
Chopin: Impromptu no. 4 in C-sharp minor
Chopin: Etude no 12 in C minor
I also like Schumann's Fantasie in C Major (op. 17). It's not as much with the "haunting" I suppose, but it is definitely beautiful and I would describe it as very poignant. Good luck!
Tchaikovsky's The Seasons for "June".
