It is 1938. As the shadow of fascism darkens over Europe, strange things are happening in Alma Fielding’s suburban home in Croydon. Crockery flies off the shelves; stolen rings appear on Alma’s fingers; and white mice scuttle out of her handbag.

Nandor Fodor – chief ghost hunter for the International Institute for Psychical Research – arrives on the scene, determined to crack the case. As Fodor’s obsession deepens, and Alma becomes ever more disturbed, the pair find themselves in a treacherous battle of wills . . .

“True Tales of the Weird – A Record of Personal Experiences of the Supernatural” contains accounts of personal experiences of ‘ghosts’ and the supernatural from the early twentieth century. Although the author didn’t personally believe in ghosts, he wanted to publish this volume for future scientific interest. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the supernatural. “A Mystery of Two Continents”, “A Spirit of Health”, “The Miracle of the Flowers”, “The Midnight Horseman”, “The Haunted Bungalow”, “The Condemned”, “The Crime”, “The Flight and Capture”, “The Expiation”, “The House on the Hill”, “On the Wings of the Storm”, “A Ghostly Co-Tenancy”, “The Dead Walks”, “The Goblins of the Kitchen”, “A Spectral Burglary”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition designed for a modern audience. First published in 1920.
