The Spirited Sea
by Simon Clark
DEATH IS ONLY A STAGE IN EVOLUTION…
Byron is a wealthy and eccentric ghost-hunter. He puts together a team of misfits to hunt for the paranormal. But to Kit and Fletcher, it's just a job. And these are only ghost stories. Or are they? One night in the cemetery, things take a turn that none of them expected. After falling into a grave pit, Kit finds himself face to face with a corpse. Eliza Jinny Threlcoates. Died 1842. Perfectly preserved with not a trace of decay.
From out of nowhere a woman appears – ‘If you want to film real ghosts, come to this address tomorrow night.' The ghost-hunters find themselves on stretch of beach where the tide has mysteriously rolled out for miles. And they are about to discover that death is only a stage of evolution...
