![GHOSTS DOOMED BY BRIDGE IN BRITAIN
—
People Are Too Busy at Cards to Bother About Christmas Wraiths.
—
New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copyright, 1905, by the New York Herald.
London, Dec. 30.—Among the destructive effects of bridge is the discomfiture of ghost and ghost stories, without which, in the good old-fashioned days, no Christmas annual could be complete. It has no place in this year’s Christmas periodical literature, and current fiction is equally silent on the subject of the ghostly visitant, who contributed to the Christmas festivities of a decade ago.
White ladies, headless monks, gray friars, wicked lords and all the vast army of spooks who were obstreperous on Christmas eve, are no longer part of the novelist’s stock in trade.
Women who anxiously inquire for a really good ghost story at the shops, meet with a blank stare of surprise. Not a single ghost story has emanated from the publishers this Christmas tide.
“Out of date,” was the terse explanation of the publisher of light literature when asked why the Christmas ghost had been exorcised. There is no demand for blood-curdling stories of clanking chains, rattling bones and dismal shrieks.
The Haunts of Ghosts.
Dreary tumble-down houses, ancient feudal castles and melancholy moated granges, as will be seen from the following list of Christmas pictures, are their favorite haunts. All of them are pedigree ghosts with officially recorded appearances.
At Dilston Castle, Lady Westmoreland; Cullaly Castle, the wicked priest; Beddiscombe Manor, the screaming skull; Calverley Hall, Sir High Calverley; Pradenham House, Izaac Disraeli; Rainhamhall, the gray lady; Corby Castle, the radiant boy; Newstead Abbey, the black friar; Brookhouse, the headless woman; Copley House, the two heads; Pomeroy Castle, the lady; Churton Hall, the lady and dog; Llyne Valley, the white horse of Llangynwyd; Holland House, Lord Holland; Bispham Abbey, the wraith of Lady Hobby; Rufford Abbey, the Cistercian father [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rykdmiisbjdf4ooel7bxlrfu/bafkreib2esc77jrneqws3yk5ot34qibu2xiggy4rdaz4rjcnebgb5fsppu)

Periodically the Christmas ghost story's death was prematurely eulogized. Some years there may not have been as many, but they never really disappeared. In this 1905 article it was blamed on the popularity of the game of bridge!
