Book Description
A not-so-scary ghost story about a little ghost who learns that she’s better at making people laugh out loud than faint from fear! Little Ghost is learning how to haunt, but nothing goes right. Her ball and chain run away with her, her clanking armor falls on top of her, and instead of terrifying people, she just makes them laugh. “You must go to the ghost of Whistlefield,” says Father Ghost. “If anyone can teach you to be scary, he can.” When Little Ghost goes to Whistlefield, she sees the villagers shaking with fear as blood-curdling shrieks echo from the gloomy castle. But when Little Ghost arrives there, she does not find at all what she expected.

Scottish Ghost Stories
Author: James Robertson
Publisher: Sphere
ISBN: 075155331X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Inheriting the tradition of Hugh Miller, the nineteenth century folklorist and stonemason (whose own haunted life is the subject of the opening chapter), James Robertson has, where possible, researched the original or oldest written source and visited the site of each story to compile the most comprehensive and authoritative collection of the Scottish supernatural. Some of the stories gathered here are deservedly famous, such as those associated with Glamis Castle or the tale of Major Weir, while others ('The Deil of Littledean' and 'The Drummer of Cortachy') are less familiar or even contemporary accounts related to the author personally - but all are equally intriguing and fascinating reflections of the culture and period to which they belong. Neither a wary sceptic nor a fanatical believer, but an advocate of the validity of individual experience of the strange and unexplainable, James Robertson's Scottish Ghost Stories is an imaginative and chilling recasting of an established Scottish ghost-hunting and story-telling tradition - a homage to the particular mystery and character of a land which continues to produce ghosts whether from den to glen, Highlands to Lowlands, Catholic to Protestant.

Set in the early nineteenth century, Pharos is a dazzling ghost story from award-winning author Alice Thompson.

The keeper of the lighthouse and his assistant take her in and feed and clothe her. But this mysterious woman is not all that she seems, and neither is the remote and wind-swept island. Eerily reminiscent of Turn of the Screw and The Others, Pharos is a breathless tale of the supernatural.
