Campfire Ghosts For Children

Campfire Ghost Stories for Children

by H. M. Cooper

Some ghost stories are meant to frighten.
These are meant to be remembered.

Gathered here are twelve gentle, unsettling tales told in the tradition of classic British storytelling - stories to be read aloud by torchlight, shared around a campfire, or enjoyed quietly under the covers long after bedtime.

In these pages, children hear laughter beyond garden walls where no playground stands...
a train arrives that was never on the timetable...
an old woman watches from a park bench that no one else seems to notice...
and a voice whispers through a cup-and-string telephone from somewhere far beyond the ordinary world.

Written in a style inspired by Charles Dickens and E. F. Benson, Campfire Ghost Stories for Children captures the strange, tender truth that children often see and hear what adults have forgotten how to notice. These are not tales of gore or horror, but of memory, love, loss, and the quiet ways the past sometimes lingers.

Perfect for readers aged 10-13, and for adults who remember what it felt like to listen closely in the dark, this collection offers ghost stories that are atmospheric rather than frightening, haunting rather than horrific - stories that stay with you long after the candle has burned low.

Because not all ghosts come to scare us.
Some come to watch over us.
And some are only waiting to be remembered.
