It’s either a retirement master-stroke or a cop out. You decide. I was reading the Sunday papers while we were in Wales and it was full of Halloween stuff. I haven’t had time to write a new ghost story but I thought I would dig out one of my old ones (available on Kindle as… Continue reading Welcome on Board, Sir

Ghost story 9 : All Part of the Service
I love ghost stories, (although sadly Mrs Summerhouse does not), as books (Stephen King et al), stories (M.R.

Ghost Story 8 : The Stone Circle
Number 8 in this series of ghost stories. That means only 3 to go unless I try and write more. I don’t know whether these stories will be missed.

They’re wild places and very evocative, ghost stories come easily to… Continue reading The Other Train

Unsurprisingly it’s about golf and it is a mind game. There’s a blog on here that sums up my experience… Continue reading Ghost stories
Ghost story number 1 : Returned without prejudice
Each month as a way of trying something different I will publish a ghost story. They will be available as an Ebook. This first story is about a man who went to a supermarket and found an aisle that sold items he hadn’t expected to find, items that were to have unhappy consequences.
