The Book of Dreams and Ghosts Chapter VIII
from The Andrew Lang Library · host Andrew Lang
In which we encounter a series of spectral visitations with distinct purposes—from Highland ghosts seeking justice and prophecy, to a famous Irish apparition confirming devout faith, and finally to a modern ghost whose mysterious summons leads a living woman on a nocturnal quest. These tales, narrated with a gentle scepticism yet a respectful eye for the curious and the uncanny, reveal ghosts who are not mere phantoms but agents urging action, delivering messages, or even affecting the material world in the style of old-fashioned apparitions.
