About this book

Deep in the heart of every human being, no matter how rational or skeptical, there lurks fascination for the weird and occult. Disbelief doess not lay ghosts, nor do the tests of science exorcise them. Stairs creak in the dark with the tread of unseen visitors; cemeteries send up midnight apparitions; and headless horsemen ride in the moonlight. In this collection of *Famous Ghost Stories*, Bennett Cerf has included such classics of the supernatural as "The Beckoning Fair One," "The Willows," "The Supper at Elsinore," and "The Phantom Rickshaw."
