The old-fashioned ghost-story was always terrifying and ghastly;
something that made people afraid to go to bed, or to look over
their shoulders, or to enter a room in the dark. It dealt with
apparitions in a white sheet, and clanking chains, and dreadful
faces that peered out from behind the window curtains in a haunted
chamber. And the more blood-curdling it was, the more keenly people
enjoyed it-until they were left alone, and then they were apt to
wish that they had been reading Robinson Crusoe or Alison's History
of Europe instead. Now the present book embodies an attempt to
write a cheerful ghost-story; a story in which the ghostly element
is of a friendly and pleasant character, and sheds a sense of
happiness and sunshine over the entire life of the ghost-seer.
Whether the author has succeeded in doing so will be for his
readers to decide. It is only necessary to add that he has not
introduced a single supernormal incident that has not occurred and
been authenticated in the recorded experiences of persons lately or
still alive.
