This is a collection of stories about all kinds and varieties of ghosts, drawn from many parts of the world and from many writers. There are stories about the spirits of people who have returned from the dead, as well as ghostly dogs, coffins, buses, weddings, railway stations, and of course, haunted houses, full of fearful smells and cries in the night.
