AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Account of a woman's visions in a New York hotel in 1873 of a ghostly euchre game and murder; the repetition of the visions several years later; her publication of the story; and eventual meeting with the actual murderer - from whose wife she learnt the true story. Interesting 'realist' narrative; insists on not being a believer in ghosts and the tale's truth; unclear narrator - a woman at first. (PB)
