Animal Ghosts

Description

Animal Ghosts is a book by Elliott O'Donnell, first published in 1913. The author was interested in the paranormal after he apparently saw a ghost when he was five years old. He also claimed to have been strangled by a phantom in Dublin. This book is a mixture of folk stories, extracts from publications, and tales that were told to the author. However, it's a bit of a mixed bag. At least two of the stories he tells which are apparently written in the words told to him, have almost the same description of a house lived in. The author also makes a lot of assumptions about animals and their souls, and a lot of the tales seem like your regular sterotypical spooky tales. It still makes for an interesting read however, and it does include a story about the Gabriel Hounds, a spectral pack in the North of England who are supposed to foretell death by their yelping at night.

This book has 65,330 words, 104 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1913.
