Tales of the Supernatural & Other Oddities — Margaret Pearce

Of the thirty six stories in this book, some are traditional hauntings or possession of either people or machines. There are also unfortunate bargains done with creatures who don't always win and aliens sometimes friendly and sometimes not. The inevitable cats with doubtful backgrounds make an appearance. There are slightly time travel futures both pleasant and unpleasant. Humans will always struggle, scheme and plan to improve themselves or mischief-make to change the world more to their liking. As nobody really believes in magic there are tales of odd coincidences and tales of betterment and worsement. Only three of the ghost stories are written from versions of solid authenticated cases and to protect the ghosts disseminating this information is prohibited.
