In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River.

Reeve, analyzes the incurable fascination of the unknown and the changing styles in ghost stories.” -Bulletin of the Brooklyn Public Library, October, 1919 “The ghost story is not born of science, nor even of super-science, whatever that may be.
