Reviews

[Brian · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book shows it's age. It was a very difficult read with overly complicated language and often written to reflect the Scottish dialect of those telling the story. It made sure any fun to the stories was destroyed in the method of telling.

[Stacy · Rating 1 out of 5]

A mostly unsatisfying collection of ghost stories in which ghosts do not feature. Good thing this was free.

[Annie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Anecdotal stories told in the dialect of the Scottish border. Seem to be meant as true incidents not fiction and therefore not scary or even particularly interesting.
