Famous Modern Ghost Stories by Dorothy Scarborough digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The love of man for the paranormal has never been more evident than it is now. The haunting world's population has significantly increased since the most recent census. All facets of literature reflect the shadow less spirit, and even a lodge in a vast wilderness would have the company of spirits.According to a magazine article, Mr. Boggs' ghost was frustrated by spectral visitors. At a séance, he had previously conversed with a speaker claiming to be his brother's ghost. He thought, "I'm not so darn sure!According to Schopenhauer, a belief in ghosts is innate to man and can be found in all ages and locations. Man is fascinated by the topic because he is aware that whether or not he has seen a ghost, he will eventually become one.Modern ghosts are evolving complexes of various kinds, making them less simple and primitive than their forebears. They use all of the mortals' mechanisms and agencies in addition to their own means of communication and transportation.More often than any other animal, the dog makes an appearance in fiction as a ghost. The poetry of Richard Le Gallienne appeals to readers with tenderness rather than terror.
