Elliott O'Donnell's Casebook of Ghosts

Presented as true stories from Elliott O’Donnell’s files, this collection brings together reports of ghosts and alleged hauntings in a casebook-style format. The emphasis is on testimony, incidents and recorded claims rather than fictional invention, reflecting O’Donnell’s long career as a writer on apparitions and supernatural experiences.

First published in 1969, the book belongs to the mid-20th-century tradition of popular ghost-hunting literature, preserving the language and outlook of its period. A later edition credits Harry Ludlam as editor, while catalogue records identify the work as a separate volume from O’Donnell’s other collections of ghost stories and haunting accounts.
