Yeah also definitely remember doing secret messages in lemon juice and putting them under the grill to reveal the code, nearly setting the kitchen on fire age 8

this is a lesser-known book on ghosts that i had as a child and still cherish. i had lots of books on ghosts actually - some very unsuitable for an eight-year old given to me by the hippyish friends of my parents!

sharing the whole book.
