The stories were collected from various friends or relatives, with a note of provenance sometimes included by the editor before a story. Halifax kept a manuscript notebook filled with ghost stories, often passed on to him by friends and relatives. These were collected and published by his son Edward. As an Anglo-Catholic ecumenist, Charles Lindley Halifax was heavily influenced by The Oxford Movement and devoted his life to support the reunion of Anglicans and Roman Catholics. He outlived his three eldest sons, and his last, Viscount Halifax, K.G., helped to publish this work and provided a foreword.
