Ghosts and Family Legends
by Catherine Crowe

Catherine Crowe was a fairly well-known collector of “true” supernatural phenomena. Ghosts and Family Legends is partly anecdotes told by friends around a fire during the Christmas season, and partly fully structured stories that I assume are fiction.

I shared one full-structured story, from the second half of the book, and several allegedly true anecdotes from the first half of the book, as winter tales.

• Madame Von B.’s Story
• Colonel C.’s story
• Doctor S.’s story
