But he has found some sterling stories, and I can't believe I've not come across ''The Daemon of Spraiton'' (from, of course, Devon) before now. There is nothing here to disagree with Kant - ''while one can be sceptical about any individual instance, the sum total presents a body of evidence that is difficult to ignore''. Indeed, the poltergeist section here is a serious gamut of Hollywood effects waiting to happen. I'll refrain from pointing out the bad pun in there being a body of evidence regarding ghosts, and conclude by recommending this book for a welcome hodge-podge of English ghost tales. It's for life, not just for Hallowe'en.
