Today we are in an age where we feel we are scientifically minded and unprejudiced by ancient folklore. Yet still we find the subject of ghosts as thrilling as ever. Is this because we feel that science and reason can never really explain what happens beyond the grave? Or is it merely that we are looking for thrills? Whatever the reason, there is no doubt about the perennial fascination of ghosts. Among the true ghost stories gathered here are: Ann Boleyn headless in a spectral coach; Phantom lovers; Unearthly revels of a dead men's club; Ghosts from India, America and Australia.
