(Arthur Burdett) 1851 1928 Frost, Arthur Burdett The phantoms of the foot-bridge 1895 Produced by David Widger "The Phantoms of the Foot-Bridge" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel that delves into themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of a haunting mountain landscape, it weaves together the lives of its characters with local folklore, particularly focusing on a mysterious footbridge said to be frequented by phantoms. The narrative creates an atmosphere thick with tension and tragedy as it explores human emotions in the face of death and the afterlife. The story follows John Dundas, a man seeking refuge in a remote mountain area, who encounters the enigmatic Millicent Roxby and her uncle, Simeon. As Dundas becomes entwined in regional legends surrounding the footbridge—where spectral sightings of those lost to tragedy regularly occur—he faces both the supernatural elements of the landscape and the challenges of human relationships. The tension escalates with the arrival of Emory Keenan, who harbors jealousy towards Dundas and ultimately becomes embroiled in a violent confrontation. Keenan's fate leads to both revelation and consequence, intertwining the past and present, ultimately leaving a lingering impact of loss and remembrance upon the living and the dead. The novel elegantly captures the intersection of love and horror, revealing how the echoes of the past continue to haunt both the living and the dead.
