[1/5] The residence at Whitminster
A collection of short stories involving the supernatural. This is the fourth collection of ghost stories published by the author - following Ghost Stories of an Antiquary and More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. Notes: The Latin phrase "Ibi cubavit lamia" can be translated as "There the vampire lay". A "bedstaff" is a wooden pole at the side of a bedstead, to prevent the bedclothes from slipping off the bed.
