True Ghost Stories is a book by Hereward Carrington, first published in 1915. Written by a noted investigator of psychic phenomena, the volume collects allegedly real-life hauntings, séance accounts and uncanny occurrences gathered from eyewitness testimony and contemporary psychical research. Carrington’s approach is investigative rather than purely fanciful: he presents each case with an eye toward documentation, cross-checking witnesses and situating stories within the wider history of Victorian and early-20th-century ghostlore. The book sits at the intersection of paranormal investigation and popular supernatural reading, appealing to readers looking for “true ghost stories,” historical hauntings, and real-life accounts of apparitions. Carrington’s background as a researcher and exposer of fraudulent mediums lends the collection a probing, sometimes sceptical tone — he is as interested in method and evidence as he is in the chill of the tale. For audiences and collectors of vintage supernatural literature, this work remains a useful compendium of haunting narratives and a window into early psychical research and the era’s enduring fascination with the afterlife.
