Summary | "Sam's Ghost" by W. W. Jacobs is a humorous short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a darkly evocative setting, revolving around the theme of ghosts, particularly that of a troublesome waterman named Sam Bullet. Through a blend of humor and suspense, the story explores a watchman’s amusing and eerie experiences related to Sam's ghost after the waterman meets an untimely demise. The plot centers on a night-watchman who recounts his encounters with the ghost of Sam Bullet, a man who was notorious for his rowdy behavior and who drowned under dubious circumstances. After Sam's death, Joe Peel, his troublesome friend, visits the watchman with a strange request from the ghost for repayment of a loan. As the story unfolds, the watchman becomes increasingly entangled in a web of ghostly antics, deceptions, and the mishaps with Joe, culminating in a comical confrontation with fear and the supernatural. The watchman's attempt to rid himself of the ghostly worry through a deal only adds to the chaos and humor, resulting in a delightful exploration of both fear and camaraderie amidst ghostly mischief.
