THAT GHOST I SAW Some excursions into the Supernatural

Hardback. First pub. in the USA, 1956, as 'Spooks de Luxe'. The author found that ghosts managed to invade the lives of the most unexpected people. They came unbidden, and not particularly welcome, to all of the busy, noteworthy personalities who tell their own stories here at the risk of disbelief. In this book ghosts appear in such odd places as an ultra-modern penthouse, a brand new ranch house, a theatre dressing-room, even in the hectic city room of a metropolitan newspaper. What ghostly influence told Guthrie McClintic to mail an unsent letter which changed his whole career? What eerie agency caused a neighbour's mice to creep into Mrs Raymond Massey's cellar whenever death was an imminent guest in the house across the street? And what ghost dared to come up and see Mae West? With Index. 224pp. 8vo. h/back. Lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. in protected F. dw.
