Ghosts Go Haunting contains 10 wonderfully quaint ghostly tales:
  • The Wicked House of Duncan MacBain
  • The Man Who Didn't Believe in Ghosts
  • The Man Who Walked Widdershins Around the Kirk
  • The Tale the Crofter Told
  • The Wild Ride in the Tilt Cart
  • The Man Who Helped Carry the Coffin
  • The Ghost that Didn't Want to be a Ghost
  • The Lads Who Met the Highwayman
  • How Tammas Maciver Macmurdo Maclennan Met His Match
  • The Young Irish Lad from the Hiring Fair

The tales are wonderfully written, colorful and very entertaining to read. From restless spirits to devilish ones, the stories are varied. Some are more humorous, others sinister. The tales are accented with artwork by Nonny Hogrogian. The illustrations go perfectly with the stories.
