A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

All that the collector can be certain of is that one man insisted upon dying because he believed himself to be haunted ;another man either made up a wonderful fiction, or visited a very strange place; while the third man was indubitably crucified by some person or persons unknown, and gave an extraordinary account of himself. Grhost-stories are very seldom told at first-hand. I have managed, with infinite trouble, to secure one exception to this rule. It is not a very good specimen, but you can credit it from beginning to end. The other three stories you must take on trust; as I did. EUDYARD KIPLING.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is not exactly a book of downright ghost-stories as the cover makes belief. It is rather a collection of facts that never quite explained themselves. All that the collector is certain of is, that one man insisted upon dying because he believed himself to be haunted ;another man either made up a wonderful lie and stuck to it, or visited a very strange place ;while the third man was indubitably crucified by some person or persons unknown, and gave an extraordinary account of himself. The peculiarity of ghost-stories is that they are never told first-hand.
