Ghosts I Have Met And Some Others

""Ghosts I Have Met And Some Others"" is a collection of humorous short stories by American author John Kendrick Bangs. The book was first published in 1898 and has since become a classic in the genre of supernatural fiction. The stories are narrated by the author himself, who claims to have had many encounters with ghosts throughout his life. The ghosts in these stories are not the typical scary or malevolent kind, but rather they are portrayed as quirky, comical, and sometimes even helpful. The book includes tales of a ghost who helps a young couple find love, a ghost who tries to start a revolution in the afterlife, and a ghost who takes up residence in a hotel room. The stories are filled with witty dialogue, clever twists, and unexpected endings. Overall, ""Ghosts I Have Met And Some Others"" is a delightful and entertaining read for anyone who enjoys a good ghost story with a humorous twist.If we could only get used to the idea that ghosts are perfectly harmless creatures, who are powerless to affect our well-being unless we assist them by giving way to our fears, we should enjoy the supernatural exceedingly, it seems to me. Coleridge, I think it was, was once asked by a lady if he believed in ghosts, and he replied, ""No, madame; I have seen too many of them."" Which is my case exactly. I have seen so many horrid visitants from other worlds that they hardly affect me at all, so far as the mere inspiration of terror is concerned.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
