Book Description:
Was, wenn Geistererscheinungen nichts Übernatürliches sind, sondern etwas Natürliches, das man wissenschaftlich erforschen und erklären kann? Ein gebildeter, rational denkender Viktorianischer Gentleman verbringt eine Nacht in einem Haus, in dem es angeblich schon seit vielen Jahren spuken soll. Er überlebt diese Nacht nur dank seines klaren Verstandes, seines Wissens und seiner Charakterstärke und Visionen - und es sind diese Eigenschaften, die ihm schliesslich die wahre, unmenschliche und dennoch zutiefst menschliche Natur des Spukes offenbaren.
