| 520 | _a"The Water Ghost and Others" by John Kendrick Bangs is a collection of humorous ghostly tales likely written during the late 19th century. The work features a variety of characters and scenarios, most notably centering around the misadventures of different spectral entities and the hapless humans who encounter them. The opening story introduces readers to the Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall, who troubles the residents of an estate with her relentless haunting on Christmas Eve. The opening of the collection details the plight of the owners of Harrowby Hall, particularly focusing on the Water Ghost who appears annually and causes chaos wherever she goes. Despite the owners’ numerous attempts to rid themselves of the ghostly presence, she continues to drench them in sea water and wreak havoc on their belongings. As the tale unfolds, we meet Henry Hartwick Oglethorpe, a courageous but beleaguered master of the estate, who learns that the ghost is tied to a tragic backstory and faces comical trials as he attempts to confront her. The blend of supernatural elements with rich humor sets a whimsical tone that invites readers to explore the rest of Bangs' entertaining ghostly adventures.
