Quotes by Robert Arthur (?)

“Disembodied spirits,” said his partner, “are not known to use telephones. Neither are spooks, phantoms, or werewolves.”

“That was in the old days. Why shouldn’t they change with the times and be modern, too?”
― Robert Arthur, The Secret of Terror Castle

― Robert Arthur
