The Cheltenham ghost

Record summary

A widely discussed late-Victorian apparition account concerns a figure reportedly seen at a Cheltenham house and investigated through testimony gathered for psychical-research literature. The case is often cited in connection with apparitions of the dead or dying and with the evidential value assigned to multiple witnesses. It matters for comparing witness agreement, interview timing and later editorial selection in the SPR tradition. The identity of the apparition, exact witness sequence and contemporary documentation should be reconstructed from the original report rather than relying on condensed paranormal anthologies.
