Ghosts and Family Legends A Volume for Christmas by Catherine Crowe is a wonderful and entertaining collection of ghost stories by Catherine Crowe. Excerpt: "But there are no ghosts now," objected Mr. R. "Quite the contrary," said I; "I have no doubt there is nobody in this circle who has not either had some experience of the sort in his own person, or been made a confidant of such experiences by friends whose word on any other subject he would feel it impossible to doubt."
