The Book of Dreams and Ghosts by Andrew Lang, Offered by Curious Publications
At the time of this book's original publication in 1897, millions of Americans dabbled in Spiritualism, a popular religion which purported the possibility of communicating with the dead. Many believed that humans could survive bodily death, and that spirits were real.
Scottish folklorist. poet, and literary critic Andrew Lang's The Book of Dreams and Ghosts collects roughly a hundred stories spanning the two preceding centuries. As Lang states in his preface, "The chief purpose of this book is, if fortune helps, to entertain people interested in the kind of narratives here collected." More than 125 years later, we hope these unusual tales will entertain you as well!

If you’re reading this, you’ve already got something in common with us. Curiosity. For the weird and wonderful, the strange and unusual, the unexplained and unbelievable. We find it in new, original writing and give it a home. And we find it in old, oddly fantastic public domain books that have been lost to obscurity and give them new life.
