Authentic Apparitions

The Woman in Black is written through the eyes of Arthur who is telling his true ghost story. Ghosts and spirits are pretty interesting to consider these days, just as they always have been. This link explores a book written in 1891 England. The book's title is Real Ghost Stories: A Record of Authentic Apparitions. This is a fascinating look at ghost hunting in the 1800s. Great Christmas Eve material.
