The Midnight Hearse, and More Ghosts

The Midnight Hearse, and More Ghosts gathers reported apparitions, legends and supernatural traditions from Britain and the wider British Isles. Elliott O'Donnell includes phantom buses, trains and an aeroplane, alongside accounts of haunted churches and the strangling oak of Nannau Woods. Banshees and fairies appear in traditions from Brittany, Ireland and Wales, linking local folklore with stories of claimed encounters.

The collection also presents several incidents described as O'Donnell's own experiences, including encounters on a lonely Scottish road, a beach and a moor. One account centres on a house haunted by the apparent presence of two dead women, where a ghost is said to reveal a 25-year-old crime involving a mother and daughter.
