THE GREY GHOST BOOK
By Jessie Adelaide Middleton
Price 6/-
Some startling instances of modern haunting are described in this book, which, while laying no claim to be a scientific investigation of psychic phenomena, aims at interesting the reader for whom the supernatural has a fascination.
One section is devoted to London Ghosts, and in particular to the unravelling of the famous mystery of Berkeley Square, and another section relates the Legends of Famous Houses.
In each case the author has submitted them for authentication to the representatives of the various families concerned. Their corrections and suggestions have, of course, greatly added to the value of the stories. Among those who have read and corrected the legends of their own houses, or have corresponded with the author regarding the book are: The Countess of Airlie, the late Marquis of Waterford, the Earl of Powis, the Countess of Selkirk, Lord Hylton, Mr. Ralph Nevill, Sir Griffith Boynton, the Earl of Durham, Sir William Jardine, Lord Leith of Fyvie, and the late Mr. Andrew Lang.
