Description

The Ghost Club is one of the oldest organisations in the world associated with psychical research. It was founded by William Stainton Moses and AA Watts in 1882 and ran as a private gentlemen?s club until 1936, dedicated to telling ?true? ghost stories. Members and visitors included Sir Laurence Oliphant, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, WB Yeats, Egyptologist Ernest Wallis Budge and colonial administrator Sir Harry Johnston. Its members, alive or dead, were counted as members.

Gothic specialist Prof Roger Luckhurst of Birkbeck, University of London, has been exploring the Ghost Club?s archives and minute books, and reveals what they got up to in their early meetings as a club, and their overlap with the Society for Psychical Research.
