Short Story #183: An Old Man Eckert's by Ambrose Bierce
Title: An Old Man Eckert's
Author: Ambrose Bierce
Summary

Reflection
Another short and snappy ghost tale that has all the elements of a campfire tale. It's not particularly complex but the elements are memorable enough to retell in some setting to send shivers up people's spine. Many of Bierce's stories fit into this and I wonder how many of them are original stories and how many are lifted from campfire tales that he heard over the years.Short Story #183 out of 365
