| Summary |
"Scottish Ghost Stories" by Elliott O'Donnell is a collection of supernatural tales written in the early 20th century. This book compiles various ghostly encounters and phenomena within the haunting backdrop of Scotland, featuring chilling narratives that explore both the spectral and the psychological. The opening of "Scottish Ghost Stories" introduces the character of the narrator who recounts their experiences in Pitlochry, beginning with an advertisement for lodging at a house owned by an elderly lady, Miss Flora Macdonald. The narrator's initial assumptions about Miss Macdonald are quickly overturned when they meet her and discover her charm and hospitality. However, it is during their stays that the narrator encounters eerie phenomena, particularly a terrifying spectral being known as the Death Bogle, which leads to discussions about its supernatural implications and other chilling stories that Miss Macdonald shares. The scene sets the tone for the spine-tingling adventures that follow, compelling readers to delve into the mysteries of haunted locales and the stories behind them.
