CHAPTER

Introduction

The Signal Man is an incredibly famous ghost story, written in 1866 by the great writer Charles Dickens. A railway signal man tells the narrator about a mysterious vision he keeps having. As the story was written over 150 years ago, the vocabulary and way of making sentences may be a little more difficult than you are used to. But I want you all to challenge yourselves. Focus on the story and don't get distracted by vocabulary and phrases that may be new to you. So sit back, read along with the transcript and vocabulary on my blog and prepare to be freaked out by the Signal Man.
