BR⑥ The Signalman and The Ghost at the Trial

 I shouted down to him. The signalman heard my voice but he did not look up at me. He turned round and he looked towards the tunnel. I was surprised. I was above him, at the top of the cutting. Why was the signalman looking towards the tunnel?(p.10)

This book has two short stories about ghost. I'm going to introduce " The Signalman". The  main character are two man. The signalman and visitor at signal-box. The man shouted down to signalman, but he didn't react and just saw the tunnel. When the man get close to signalman, he didn't see him at all and looked scary. According to him, when he saw some one, fatal accident always happen near the tunnel. Actually, one person dead one year ago after he saw someone near the tunnel. Moreover, he saw human figures a lot recently. Can you imagine what's happen next?

This book was written by Charles Dickens. He was raised up in not rich house, and he couldn't get enough education in his childhood. But he read many books by himself, and he worked as writer of news paper and books. Especially, his ghost story was so popular among the people at that time. If you want to enjoy his works easily, I recommend you this book.
