Collected ghost stories from real life!

Excerpt from The Story That Transformed the World: Or the Passion Play at Ober Ammergau in 1890 Twenty years ago I visited Ober Ammergau for the first time to obtain a little rest and to witness a performance which was being very warmly discussed throughout the whole of Christendom. Nothing was further from my thoughts than to write a book about it. But imagine my astonishment on discovering that not one of the so - called "Guidebooks" had th...

Excerpt from Real Ghost Stories The contents of the two Volumes, slightly cur tailed, were, a few years later, brought out as one book, but the three volumes have long been out of print and are practically unknown to the present generation.

Since then the little vol ume has been six times reprinted in England, and at least one translation has appeared abroad. I have re ceived so many grateful letters from per...

Excerpt from The Pope and the New Era: Being Letters From the Vatican in 1889 In the following pages I attempt to discuss one of the greatest of all problems with, perhaps, as slender an equipment of qualification for the task as ever was possessed by mortal man. By heredity, by education, and by the associations and habits of a life-time, I am cut off as by a mental and moral abyss from the Church of Rome. Reared as a child on "Fox's Book of...

Excerpt from Tripoli and the Treaties: Britain's Duty in This War, A Plain Statement of Facts for the Man in the Street Anything more wicked than the Italian seizure Of Tripoli it is impossible to conceive. It is as if the Author of all Evil had deliberately said to his fiends in council, Go to, let us see whether or not the conscience of the world is dead. We pricked it with Morocco, it did not stir. We seared it with Bosnia and the Herzegov...
