PREFATORY NOTE
INTRODUCTION
AUTHOR'S PREFACE
A MYSTERY OF TWO CONTINENTS
"A SPIRIT OF HEALTH"
THE MIRACLE OF THE FLOWERS
THE MIDNIGHT HORSEMAN
THE HAUNTED BUNGALOW
In this compelling collection, a seasoned journalist recounts a series of uncanny encounters drawn from his own life and those of his close circle. Written with the meticulous eye of a reporter, each vignette blends vivid detail with a calm, analytical tone that invites listeners to weigh the evidence for themselves. From a phantom horseman that rides through midnight streets to a house where unseen guests rearrange its rooms, the stories unfold with a quiet, unsettling certainty.
The narratives are anchored by contemporary notes from psychologists and psychical researchers, adding a layer of scholarly curiosity without imposing any dogma. As the accounts progress, ordinary settings—rural homesteads, bustling cities, distant continents—become stages for phenomena that resist simple explanation, hinting at a world just beyond our perception. Listeners will find themselves drawn into a reflective space where the ordinary and the extraordinary intersect, making each episode feel both intimate and mysteriously universal.

An American-born journalist, critic, and lecturer, he became a lively champion of Australian art before turning his sharp observer’s eye to strange and supposedly supernatural experiences. His best-known book, published after his death, blends curiosity, storytelling, and a reporter’s habit of taking careful notes.
