"Four Ghost Stories" by Mrs. Molesworth is a collection of supernatural tales likely written in the late 19th century. This collection delves into the mysterious and eerie experiences of characters who encounter ghosts and unexplained phenomena. One of the central stories involves Lady Farquhar, who recounts her own ghostly encounter, sparking a discussion about the nature of supernatural experiences. The opening portion of the book introduces the narrator, who learns from her friend Lady Farquhar about a true ghost story she witnessed. The tale unfolds as Lady Farquhar describes an eerie experience in a seaside house in Ireland, where she saw the ghost of an elderly woman dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The ghostly figure appeared twice, both times creating a sense of unease and fascination rather than outright terror. As the story develops, it becomes clear that the encounter has left a lasting impression on Lady Farquhar, leading her to explore the history of the house and its previous inhabitants.
