Here are a few excerpts from a decidedly "quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore", a joke book about ghosts hanging around a lady's bedroom and other places. The digest-sized, 52-page book was published in 1945 by Consolidated Book Publishers and contains light-hearted stories and cartoons with a faintly sexy ghostly theme. The text story shown below is by humorist Robert Benchley, Peter "Jaws" Benchley's grandfather. The book appears to be of the vintage collectible kind and sells for upwards of $100 online. And check out that original cover price -- a spooky 13-cents!
