The Ghost Hunter & Flaxman Low, Occult Psychologist

The final volume of the Leonaur Psychic Investigators trilogy.

As almost every aficionado of supernatural fiction knows the Victorian and Edwardian eras were 'Golden Ages'for both writers and readers. Ghost stories abounded within books and magazines of the period. Most commonly, within these tales, it was the troubled spirits who took the centre stage together with those unfortunates they terrorised.Then a new form of the chilling tale emerged-one in which the haunters became the hunted!. So arrived on the literary scene several fictional Occult Investigators whose adventures received a ready and enthusiastic audience. This three volume Leonaur collection brings together six collections of stories featuring those who pursued ghostly apparitions or revealed that they were very human hoaxers.

This volume includes eighteen stories in total.The Estate Agent, Jack Hargreaves and his secretary Miss Alwyne Sargent, appeared in the Royal Magazine between 1905-6.As they went about their business, they came across five haunted and troubled homes.Fortunately for Jack his able assistant was a clairvoyant. Among the ghost hunting tales featuring Messrs. Hargreaves and Sargent the reader will discover, 'The Two Roses', 'The Tapping on the Wainscott', 'The Haunted Woman'and others.The twelve Flaxman Low stories of supernatural investigation have been abidingly well-regarded since they appeared in Pearson's' Magazine. Acknowledged as, 'the first Occult Investigator in English literature' this book contains, 'The Story of the Moor Road', 'The Story of Crowsedge', ' The Story of Yand Manor House' and others.
