Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IN selecting a series of ghost stories for this volume I have taken the greatest care to make use of those only which are thoroughly well authenticated. The result of this discrimination has been that the majority of these accounts of psychic phenomena have been taken from the lips of eye-witnesses and transferred to manuscript in as nearly as possible the narrator’s own language. First-hand narratives of unfamiliar hauntings, albeit they refer to the meaner class of houses, will, I think, be more welcome to the reader than the mere repetition of such hackneyed stories as those appertaining to Glamis Castle, the Tower of London, &c. In one other point, too, this work may be said to differ from others dealing with the same subject viz., it is compiled and written by a very keen psychic – one who has not only investigated (and lectured on) haunted houses, but has himself seen many occult manifestations. As there have been several libel cases quite recently in connection with the alleged haunting of houses, I have been obliged (save where it is stated to the contrary) to give fictitious names to both people and localities.
