Forbidden Worlds #109

In "Verdict: Not Guilty," Jo Chalmers stands trial for the murder of Sir Alfred Haines, the very man whose will promised him fortune—making him the prime suspect. As the jury delivers a shocking "not guilty" verdict, a shadowy figure emerges from the courtroom's darkness, his presence vanishing as quickly as the decision is made. When the jurors later recover their senses and recount the event, the judge, stunned, recognizes the mysterious man as the long-dead Sir Alfred himself—though the truth behind the man’s return remains as elusive as the burglar who eventually confesses to the crime.

In "Through the Mists," a doctor is summoned by a mysterious boat captain on a fog-laden night, whisked across the water to perform emergency surgery. What begins as a routine call takes a chilling turn when the doctor arrives at the hospital—only to realize the patient is the very man who brought him there.
