Winston Churchill is said to have been interrupted while dressing by Lincoln's ghost.

When he asked who died, he was told

tories of
The Amherst Poltergeist
,
The Black Dogs
and
The Headless Horseman
are included. An urban myth,
Bloody Mary
, ends the book. These frightening hauntings will make good reading on a dark and stormy night.
