Summary "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary Part 2: More Ghost Stories" by M. R. James is a collection of eerie tales written during the early 20th century. This work is a continuation of the first part, showcasing more chilling ghost stories that explore themes of the supernatural, folklore, and unsettling events typically set in antiquarian contexts. Readers can expect to encounter a variety of spooky narratives, each laced with a sense of history, mystery, and a touch of psychological terror. At the start of this volume, the opening story, "A School Story," introduces two men reminiscing about haunting memories from their schooldays, leading to a tale of an unsettling experience involving a ghostly figure and a mysterious teacher named Mr. Sampson. The narrator recalls a strange incident that consists of cryptic Latin phrases and omens that foreshadow eerie events surrounding their school. This story establishes the tone for the rest of the collection, weaving in elements of nostalgia, childhood fear, and the unknown which underpin the ghostly encounters.
