Eerie Tales from Old Korea

Homer B. Hulbert and James S. Gale, two of the most famous North American missionaries to come to Korea in the 1880s, were very fond of ghost stories, but for years the Korean scholars they met swore that no such stories existed in Korea war. On the one hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Hulbert and Gale, the present selection of Korean ghost stories is offered for the pleasure of readers in the twenty-first century.
