Secret Chambers and Hiding Places (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

Allan Fea (1860-1956) was a British author. His works include: Secret Chambers and Hiding Places (1901) and The Real Captain Cleveland (1912). “The secret chamber is unrivalled even by the haunted house for the mystery and romance surrounding it. Volumes have been written about the haunted house, while the secret chamber has found but few exponents. The ancestral ghost has had his day, and to all intents and purposes is dead, notwithstanding the existence of the Psychical Society and the investigations of Mr. Stead and the late Lord Bute. “Alas! poor ghost! ” he is treated with scorn and derision by the multitude in these advanced days of modern enlightenment. ”
