Mother and son writing team "E and H Heron" produced this dozen ghost and horror stories in the 1890s, all published in Pearson's Magazine. Pearson's presented them as though true stories, to the authors' annoyance.
In 1899 the whole set of 12 stories was collected into a special issue of Pearsons, May 1899, with the heading "Real Ghost Stories". The magazine contained a couple of poems mainly as fillers for empty spaces, which have been omitted. There were a great many half-tone illustrations, which didn't survive the Google scanning process well, and have also been omitted.
The first story has been reprinted often, because it is one of the few to have a rational, ie non-occult, solution.

The cover scan was poor, but rather than create an original cover, I have used it in a reduced size.
