STEAD holds there is a future, and a splendid one, for ghosts.

And so he has an office, a sort of ghostly Cook's,

Where tours may be contracted for to Borderland and Spooks;

And those who yearn to mix with ghosts have only got to go

And talk, as I conversed, with Stead for half an hour or so.

The ghosts have got a paper too, the Borderland I spoke of,

Where raps and taps are registered that scoffers make a joke of:

A medium's magazine it is, a ghostly gazetteer

Produced by William Thomas Stead, the Julianic seer.
