Summary "Tom Ossington's Ghost" by Richard Marsh is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Madge Brodie, a music teacher who encounters a mysterious and seemingly troubled young man seeking lessons, as well as a woman claiming to be connected to the spirit of a previous occupant of the house, Tom Ossington. The narrative emerges with elements of intrigue, suspense, and a hint of the supernatural as it explores themes of loneliness and the spectral remnants of past lives. At the start of the novel, Madge is deeply engrossed in her writing when an unexpected visitor arrives—a man claiming he wants music lessons despite his obvious discomfort and hidden fears. Their tense interaction is disrupted by an unsettling figure lurking outside. Shortly afterward, an eccentric woman bursts into Madge's life, asserting that she is the ghost's wife and revealing dark tales of her past entwined with a tragic history linked to Tom Ossington. The chapter sets the stage for an unfolding mystery, laden with ghostly implications and emotional turbulence, as Madge grapples with her newfound reality in Clover Cottage, where unsettling secrets and eerie connections promise to emerge.
