Summary "Black Spirits and White: A Book of Ghost Stories" by Ralph Adams Cram is a collection of supernatural tales written in the late 19th century. The stories delve into haunting experiences and supernatural occurrences, exploring the thin veil between the known and the mysterious, particularly focusing on themes of death, curses, and otherworldly encounters. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of ghostly apparitions and unsettling phenomena through intriguing characters entangled in these eerie narratives. At the start of the collection, the narrator discusses his arrival in Paris and a chance reunion with his friend Eugene Marie d'Ardeche. Eugene shares his eerie experiences related to an old inheritance, a haunted house at 252 Rue M. le Prince, which is notorious for driving tenants away without any clear explanation. As Eugene recounts the stories of the house—the strange occurrences and the ominous presence of a sorcerer—he reveals plans to investigate it with the narrator and some doctors. The opening story builds tension as it introduces the unsettling environment of the haunted house, setting up a narrative steeped in suspense and the unknown.
