Hauntings

Short stories of poltergeists, shamans, ghosts...

A dead boy stands in a dark farm-yard, staring at the lit windows of the farmhouse kitchen.
An old man, living alone in a farmhouse surrounded by modern estates, sees spirits dancing on an ancient hillside.
A bullied schoolgirl finds a protector -- at a price.
A writer listens to the telling of a dream -- and can't sleep easily after.
A poltergeist joins a couple in their home…
An elderly couple are woken nightly by the return of their young neighbour -- who was murdered. Yet still she comes home late…
An ancient wood emerges from the lamposts and walls of a city…
And a spiritual medium is exposed as a trickster.
