The Ghost
The main protagonist, Jerry Richards, is an ordinary man living an ordinary life, middle-aged, reflective, and quietly wrestling with the deeper questions of existence. A man draped in a white bedsheet is wandering the grounds of an ancient Scottish castle, spiralling into something beyond Jerry’s imagination. A tourist captures the moment on video, uploads it online, and within hours, the mysterious figure becomes a global sensation. The world begins to believe a ghost has returned. Within the pages, curiosity turns to fascination and fascination to obsession. People everywhere search for meaning in the silent apparition drifting through centuries-old places. Is it a supernatural presence? A message from the past? Or a symbol of something humanity has long feared but never truly faced? Moving between quiet domestic life and the growing legend of the ghostly figure, this thought-provoking novel explores fear, faith, and human imagination, and our endless search for meaning in a mysterious world. In this book, Donald Baptie crafts a reflective and philosophical tale about how easily myths are born, and how powerful they can become once the world chooses to believe.
