"Amelia B. Edwards' 'The Phantom Coach' - The story changes gears from loneliness & isolation to the supernatural & believing what experiments cannot prove, thus James Murray being the 4th passenger. But I suffer from the same fatal flaw of wanting proof. If she could have said something more about the 4th passenger, I would have believed his claims more easily. But I assume that is not the point of the story, right?" — Jan 04, 2026 06:39PM
