I offered the doctor a cigar, which he took and examined very critically.[Pg 26]
"It is not so much the damp," he remarked. "However, I dare say you will get on very well. Have you a room-mate?"
"Yes; a deuce of a fellow, who bolts out in the middle of the night and leaves the door open."
Again the doctor glanced curiously at me. Then he lit the cigar and looked grave.
"Did he come back?" he asked presently.
"Yes. I was asleep, but I waked up and heard him moving. Then I felt cold and went to sleep again. This morning I found the porthole open."
"Look here," said the doctor, quietly, "I don't care much for this ship. I don't care a rap for her reputation. I tell you what I will do. I have a good-sized place up here. I will share it with you,[Pg 27] though I don't know you from Adam."

Marion Crawford wrote many novels, and numerous articles, but he is most famous now for his weird and fantastic stories. Ot
This is my favourite type of classic ghostly tale; one that includes an unexplained occurrence in a much-avoided location and a protagonist determined to solve the unsolvable. The sea setting added a unique twist and despite this being no more than a novella's length story, many more twists and an u
So much creepy. I'm used to older horror stories being lackluster, compared to modern standards, but this was actually pretty enjoyable. A frequent ship traveler finds himself in a berth whose porthole keeps opening. At first he blames his cabin-mate, but soon learns that strange happenings are comm
Brisbane is a sea faring man and tells his eerie story late at night to a crowd of eager listeners. What is so special with cabin 105 and why does the port hole opens up by itself after being closed properly? On the Kamtschatka passengers regularly go overboard. Are Brisbane and the captain able to

I reckon it's a complete coincidence that there was a ghost on today's episode of The Love Boat. (Please don't judge; I didn't have the clicker). That ghost was encouraging his... widowed wife?... to pick a new mate... I think. (I wasn't paying close attention, and was trying to read this at the sam
