Lord Halifax's Ghost Book: The Two Books Complete in One Volume

One of the hobbies of Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax, was the collection of gruesome tales of the supernatural. These stories were told to him by friends, acquaintances and sent to him by strangers, and he duly recorded them in a book over the course of his long life – he lived to be 94. This is the complete collection in one volume. • "The Harper of Inverary" • "The Man in the Iron Cage" • "The Secret of Glamis" • "The Grey Man of Wrotham" • "The Haunting of Hinton Ampner" • "The Death of Lord Tyrone" • "The Passenger with the Bag" • "'Marche!'" • "The Man in a Silk Dress" • "The Strange Experience of the Reverend Spencer Nairne" • "The Renishaw Coffin" • "The Butler in the Corridor" • "The Telephone at the Oratory" • "The Strangling Woman" • "'Here I Am Again!'" • "Head of a Child" • "The Woman in White" • "The Corpse Downstairs" • "The Murderer's Dream" • "The Mad Butler" • "Lady Goring's Dream" • "The Sexton of Chilton Polden" • "The Last Appearance of Mr. Bullock" • "The Corpse that Rose" • "The Footsteps at Haverholme Priory" • "'I will pay you all to-morrow'" • "The Haunted Bungalow" • "The Monk of Bolton Abbey" • "The Gentleman with the Latch-Key" • "The Bordeaux Diligence" • "The Appearance of Mr. Birkbeck" • "The Vampire Cat" • "Lord Lytton and a Horoscope" • "Colonel P.'s Ghost Story" • "Shrieks in the West Room at Flesbury" • "The Shrouded Watcher" • "The Ghostly Passenger" • "The Fawn Lady of Burton Agnes" • "The Ghost of Lord Conyers Osborne" • "The Ghost of Lady Carnarvon" • "The Ghost of Bishop Wilberforce" • "The Ship in Distress" • "The Widow in the Train" • "Killed in Action" • "The Troubled Spirit of Tintern Abbey" • "Labédoyère's Doom" • "Exorcism at St. Donat's Castle" • "What the Gardener Saw" • "Three in a Bed" • "The Simla Bungalow" • "The Cardinal of Waverley Abbey" • "'Someone by his Side'" • "Bishop King's Escape" • "Two Friends" • "The Spanish Knife" • "'Turn to the Right!'" • "President Lincoln's Dream" • "John Arthington's Escape" • "Two Submarines" • "The Fighting Rooks and the Black Mouse" • "Lord Decies' Ring" • "The Death of Lord Hastings" • "The Rustling Lady of Lincoln" • "The Bloody Hand" • "The 'Tweenie'" • "Waiting for a Submarine' • "The Restless Dead" • "The Countess of Belvedere"
