Ghosts I Have Seen

About this book

Violet Tweedale describes apparitions in drawing rooms, encounters on lonely roads and moments when the living appear to receive news from the dead. These are experiences she claims to have witnessed or learned from people close to her.

Published in an era captivated by spiritualism, her memoir combines ghost stories with the social world of British séances and psychic discussion. She writes with conviction about presences and premonitions, although the evidence remains personal testimony. That certainty gives the book its peculiar atmosphere: the supernatural is treated as something that might interrupt an otherwise perfectly ordinary afternoon.
