Ghosts in the Great War, and true tales of haunted houses

Description

About this book

"Ghosts in the Great War, and true tales of haunted houses : Thrilling…." by S. Louis Giraud is a collection of first-person ghost accounts written in the early 20th century. Drawn from readers of the Daily News, it gathers wartime apparitions, premonitions, and domestic hauntings, framed as “true” experiences rather than folklore. The tone is investigative rather than sensational, balancing believers’ testimonies with skeptical letters and editor’s notes about method and selection. The opening of the collection sets out its newspaper origins: a public call for sober, first-hand reports, prizes for publishable accounts, and an editorial promise to classify, trim excess, and avoid lurid fabrications, while not claiming to prove or disprove ghosts.
