In Ghost stories there is no path to escape. Charles was such a versatile writer that he could put life in such simplistic stories with his amazing wit. In "The Haunted House," a new homeowner discovers he is sharing his bed with the skeleton of the house's former master. In "The Trial for Murder," a revengeful ghost haunts a juror serving at his killer's trial. In "The Sigl- Man," an apparition warns a man of impending disaster.
