Summary "Wandering Ghosts" by F. Marion Crawford is a collection of supernatural tales written in the late 19th century. The opening story, "The Dead Smile," introduces us to a sinister family secret involving Sir Hugh Ockram, his dying condition, and the unsettling relationship between his son, Gabriel Ockram, and his niece, Evelyn Warburton. The tale is set against a backdrop of dark family history and eerie occurrences, hinting at themes of betrayal and the haunting legacies of the past. At the start of the collection, we enter the shadowy world of Ockram Hall, where Sir Hugh's cryptic remarks about the future of Gabriel and Evelyn ominously foreshadow a deeper family curse. As Sir Hugh lies on his deathbed, his ghastly smile becomes central to the narrative, seemingly embodying the weight of his unconfessed sins. The tension escalates as Gabriel and Evelyn confront disturbing secrets that suggest their future may be intertwined with a malicious past, leaving them haunted by a "secret" that could lead to their ruin. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and supernatural elements loom over the characters, shaping their fates in an unsettling manner. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
