Charles Dickens 
The Signal-Man 

In this gripping Charles Dickens ghost story, the signal-man of the title relates a series of stories about horrific railway accidents to the narrator. But there is something odd about the signal-man and the way he keeps looking at his alarm bell. Based in part on famous train crashes of the day, this horror/mystery story, one of Dickens’ last, was originally published in the 1866 Christmas issue of ‘All the Year Round’.
