The Ghost of Guir House is a classic horror novel by Charles Willing Beale. The story is set in the early 1900s and revolves around the mysterious and supernatural events that occur at Guir House, a sprawling mansion in the English countryside.The house is owned by the reclusive Mr. Philip Ashley, who has been living there alone for many years. One day, a young man named Richard Dare arrives at Guir House, claiming to be a distant relative of Ashley's. Ashley welcomes him into the house, but strange things begin to happen soon after Dare's arrival.Dare experiences terrifying visions and encounters a malevolent ghost that seems to be haunting the house. As he investigates the history of Guir House, he uncovers dark secrets and a tragic past that may be the cause of the supernatural occurrences.The Ghost of Guir House is a gripping and suspenseful tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. It is a must-read for fans of classic horror and ghost stories.Whatever may have been Mr. Henley's suspicions concerning the implication of the Guirs with the crime which he could no longer doubt had been committed in their house, they were promptly dispelled, so far as the young lady was concerned, upon meeting Dorothy at the breakfast table. Her innocent though serious face was a direct rebuke to any distrust he might have entertained; and he even doubted if she had any knowledge of the state of things he had discovered in the vault. This, of course, only added to the mystery; nor was Mr. Henley's self-esteem fortified by the memory of how unscrupulously he had become the guest of these people, and of how equivocal had been his treatment of their hospitality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
