The Shadow by E Nesbit is a masterful story of an apparition that signifies death. It is set in a large house with servants in England at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th Century. A Christmas party was held in the old manor house, the men have gone to billiards and left a group of young women to tell ghost stories. Then Miss Eastwich, the housekeeper is invited in and tells a real ghost story of her own.
E. Nesbit was a famous and prolific woman writer for children who had a sideline in creepy ghost stories.
The Shadow is a great story for Christmas or any other time. I really enjoyed reading it for you.
