Whether the apparitions are discovered by intrepid adventurers, solemn priests or mild-mannered academics, the haunted must reconsider their most basic assumptions and work out how best to respond to these supernatural assaults.\n\nTales include:\n• A Ghost by Guy de Maupassant\n• The Red Room by H. G. Wells\n• The Signalman by Charles Dickens\n• The Room in the Tower by E.F. Benson\n• The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson\n• The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral by M.R.
