action
This is one of the most unusual series in horror booklet history. Magic weapons, more or less powerful demons and the like were completely dispensed with. The classic mad scientist , which often appeared in the early days of the horror book novel, was also completely absent.
The action preferably took place in old castles and their tombs, the opponents were basically ghosts of lost souls - so more of a theme and setting of the romantic thriller genre.
The spirits Commission from Scotland Yard established to the ghost havoc in Scotland to fight, accordingly devoted exclusively to evil spirits. It included two policemen, a medium and a pastor.
The members of the ghost commission
- Inspector Knight - Yard Inspector and Head of the Ghost Commission
- Sergeant Bott - his direct subordinate at the yard
- Miss Elly Formount - Spirit Seer & Medium
