#BOTD Edmond Gill ‘E.G.’ Swain. Swain was one of the first attendees of M.R. James annual Christmas Eve ghost stories readings to go on to write his own stories. He used his own experiences as Vicar of Stanground to create the fictional Stoneground, whose Rector, the reverend Roland Batchel, often finds himself facing supernatural mysteries. #ghosts #books #haunting
