Dear Jacqueline,
I'm intrigued by the Montague Rhodes James link. Does this G & S society still exist? Did you publish your paper?
I was unaware that there was such a strong folklore content in MR's ghost stories but I've always found his stories and their antiquarianism fascinating. Nothing like a bit of tangible evil, even if they were written, I believe, for schoolboys.
Best wishes,
Richard R
