Ghosts in the Church

 For today's countdown to Halloween post, I present an anthology of ghost stories. It is a suggestion, not technically a recommendation, because I haven't read it all. That said, as it is for all anthologies, I have already read a few of these ghost stories in elsewhere. So anyway, I started among my many reads Holy Ghosts: Classic Tales of the Ecclesastical Uncanny. Because there's something paticularly eerie about a ghost in an church. In fact, no Halloween season is fully completed without a visit to a spooky old church, or at least a walk by one. A macabre pilgrimage, if you will. Ironically enough, I started reading this book in a train. I did look at the window hoping to see a church, I did not notice any. I will however walk around our little town and when I see a church, I will most definitely look for ghosts.
