Noon Ghosts by CATHERINE LUCY CZERKAWSKA with ... The midday ghost
... coming towards you in the heat of the day. Coming through the cornfields when you least expect such things. You can't close your eyes and creep under the covers and wait for the daylight to come. Not with the midday ghost. It's just there, in front of you. An old man, exiled in Scotland, is haunted by memories of his life in Poland before the Second World War.
