Halloween Month continues here at Balladeer's Blog with this look at some ghost stories from over a hundred years ago.
FROM OUT OF THE SILENCE: SEVEN STRANGE STORIES (full title) (1920) - Written by Lady Bessie Kyffin-Taylor. The stories are:
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE - A veteran of World War One (called the World War or the Great War at the time), who lost the use of a leg during the conflict, at last meets his fiancé's relatives, the Falconer family. They are gracious hosts but aggressively warn the man to never leave the house after dark. Only at sunrise is it safe to venture out.
Hearing odd, menacing sounds outside during the night, and intrigued by the way even the windows are blocked off after dark, the man disregards the warning and goes outside one night to investigate. While walking the eerie, moonlit grounds of the estate he learns why no one leaves the house at night.
