Captain Young's Ghost, Ghost Stories from Indian Hills, Author : Ruskin Bond

"Captain Young’s Ghost" is not your typical collection of horror stories. Instead of relying on shock, gore, or dread, Ruskin Bond brings his signature warmth and nostalgia to the supernatural. These stories are deeply rooted in the mists and myths of the Indian hills, especially Mussoorie, where Bond has spent much of his life.

The ghosts in these tales aren't always terrifying they are often lonely, humorous, wistful, or even kind. The collection feels like listening to stories from a wise, old friend by the fireplace, on a rainy evening in the hills.
