The Tapestried Chamber, and Death of the Laird's Jock

The Tapestried Chamber by Walter Scott is a collection of horrifying and spooky ghost stories. Scott spins thrilling and evil tales that will send a shiver down your spine. Excerpt: "The following narrative is given from the pen, so far as memory permits, in the same character in which it was presented to the author's ear; nor has he claim to further praise, or to be more deeply censured, than in proportion to the good or bad judgment which he has employed in selecting his materials, as he has studiously avoided any attempt at ornament which might interfere with the simplicity of the tale."
