St Andrews
Ghost Stories

BY

W. T. LINSKILL

(Dean of Guild).

 

FOURTH EDITION.

 

There are ghosts and phantoms round us,
On the mountains, on the sea;
Some are cold and some are clammy,
Some are hot as hot can be.
They can creep, and crawl, and hover,
And can howl, and shriek, and wail,
And those who want to hear of them
Must read this little tale.
