Excerpt from The Oxford Descendents of Gregory Stone of Cambridge, Massachusetts About 1761, or 16 years later, Hezekiah, his cousin (once removed) came to Oxford with his family and settled. These two ancestors have furnished many descendents, both dead and living, which have become scattered over a wide range of territory, and few, if any, are now living in Oxford.

Ghost stories have played a prominent role in childhood. Circulated around playgrounds and whispered in slumber parties, their history in American literature is little known and seldom discussed by scholars. This book explores the fascinating origins and development of these tales, focusing on the social and historical factors that shaped them and gave birth to the genre. Ghost stories have existed for centuries but have been published specifically for children for only about 200 years. Early on, supernatural ghost stories were rare--authors and publishers, fearing they might adversely affect young minds, presented stories in which the ghost was always revealed as a fraud. These tales dominated children's publishing in the 19th century but the 20th century saw a change in perspective and the supernatural ghost story flourished.
