An Old Woman's Tale

By Nathaniel Hawthorne

Full text.

One of the best ghost short stories, by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Extract: In the house where I was born, there used to be an old woman crouching all day long over the kitchen fire, with her elbows on her knees and her feet in the ashes. Once in a while she took a turn at the spit, and she never lacked a coarse gray stocking in her lap, the foot about half finished; it tapered away with her own waning life, and she knit the toe-stitch on the day of her death.
