Publisher's Synopsis
Contemporaries of Sherlock Holmes, the occult detectives were Victorian- and Edwardian-era investigators concerned with all manner of psychic, spectral and paranormal matters, eager to separate reality--no matter how bizarre--from hoaxers and con men.
In this volume, esteemed German physician Dr. Martin Hesselius relates five tales, encompassing the apparition of a beastly creature only its witness can see to the unholy revenant inhabiting the form of a youthful girl, a story that pre-dates Dracula by 25 years.
