Customer Review: Great in its own way
I got Scottish Ghost Stories ten years ago whilst on vacation in Scotland and it continues to prove an interesting read. It's a collection of 12 different stories with a couple of great illustrations by Tim Hunt for each.
The stories range from those about hidden rooms at Glamis Castle to glowing ladies in the night and scary dark cellars. At least half of the stories are excellent, although they're all quite readable but one or two do drag a little.
Many of the stories are those which the author has heard from others or are contributions. They all seem to have the same style though, ..., they're still great to read.
The style of writing could prove a little '1940s English' for some, but most books by older authors are like this.
Product Description
Here is a selection of ghost stories from acclaimed author/ghost hunter, Elliott O'Donnell.
O'Donnell wrote several popular novels but specialized in what were claimed as "true" stories of ghosts and hauntings.
He eventually became known as an authority on the supernatural and he was called upon as a ghost hunter. He also lectured and broadcast (radio and television) on the paranormal in Britain and the United States.
His view on the subject: "I have investigated, sometimes alone, and sometimes with other people and the press, many cases of reputed hauntings. I believe in ghosts but am not a spiritualist."
This book covers 17 cases that he investigated in Scotland in 1912. Best if read alone, at night and with the wind howling outside.
NOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader.
