The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall

Before we get to the Gordon Laite post that I keep yappin' about, I thought I'd share one more rendition of the drippy ghost dame we've seen in the last two posts, aka: The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall, a very funny and even frightening classic ghost story written by John Kendrick Bangs in 1904, and as seen in today's post released in the 1945 illustrated "Quick Reader" from Royce Publishers titled Humorous Ghost Stories. And for something completely different, I've actually included the full text story as well, because yes, there's a reason why this tale appears in so many short story collections over the last century-- it's great! It's also great fun to compare artistic interpretations of The Water Ghost... isn't she lovely?
