* From “Told After Supper” an anthology of short humorous ghost stories by the British author Jerome K. Jerome. It was first published in 1891. The stories are connected by a framing device in which the unnamed narrator attends a Christmas Eve dinner party at his uncle's house. After having eaten and drunk a large amount of alcohol, the guests, as was normal on Christmas Eve in Victorian Britain, tell ghost stories to each other.
