Sabine Baring-Gould gathers ghost stories written over half a century: “Jean Bouchon”, set in Orléans while he researched Joan of Arc; “The Leaden Ring”; “Glámr”, retold from the Icelandic saga; “The Red-haired Girl”; “Colonel Halifax’s Ghost Story”; and “The 9.30 Up-train”, first published in 1853. Some are eerie, some comic, all told with a scholar’s relish.
A fine collection from the Victorian parson-antiquary, for anyone who loves an old-fashioned ghost story. Download the free EPUB.
