Author: Saki
Date: 1911-11-18
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Webpages: librivox.org, obviousstate.com
Language: English
Note: Borderline genre; the haunting in "The Open Window" isn't real, but it's included in plenty of anthologies of ghost stories anyway. You might say it's a story about ghost stories. First published in The Westminster Gazette, November 18, 1911.
Synopsis: A girl decides to have some fun with a visitor by convincing him that he's hearing ghosts. He flees.
