Title: The Story of Baelbrow Title Record # 1116207
Authors: Hesketh Prichard and Kate Prichard
Date: 1898-04-00
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Series: Flaxman Low
Language: English
Note: First published in Pearson's Magazine, April 1898.
Synopsis: Flaxman Low is called upon by his friend Professor Jungvort to investigate the strange case of the Baelbrow Ghost: a benign, long-established phantom that has suddenly started to ambush the residents of Baelbrow House (including Professor Jungvort's daughter Lena and even Harold Swaffam, a staunch defender of his family's "heirloom" ghost). The signs of this specter seem disparate - a clicking tread, the scent of medicinal herbs, its victims left anemic and terrified - but Flaxman Low has a theory that could stick this spook back in the grave for good.
