"The Banshee Bells" tells of a young girl who encounters ghostly spirits and hears the voices of the dead warning her of a crime—a judge's daughter has been murdered, and the spirits reveal her father was responsible. "Flee the Phantoms" follows a couple whose car mysteriously races out of control on a dark road, seemingly driven by supernatural forces, as they attempt to escape phantom entities pursuing them. The issue also includes "The Ghost Gallery" segment and a crime story involving mobsters and a character named Jerry Dingle, with supernatural elements weaving through the narratives to create an evening of ghostly and criminal horror tales.
When a chain gang prisoner named Lem Daniels is driven to violence by what he believes is the ghostly voice of his executed brother Jud, he's pulled into a twisted web of vengeance and murder across the Louisiana bayou. Haunted by commands from beyond the grave, Lem finds himself powerless to resist—until the spirits of those his brother wronged demand a reckoning of their own. Drew Murdoch illustrates this tale of spectral justice in "The Banshee Bells," where the dead refuse to let the living forget their debts.
Lieutenant Phil Strong requests a transfer after clashing with his commanding officer, only to find himself aboard the carrier Lexington when it comes under sudden enemy attack from both submarine and air forces.

A haunting wartime tale where duty and redemption become one.

A chilling tale of fate and second chances from the pages of Ghost Comics.
Russell Burke wants to put his criminal past behind him—literally smashing the ventriloquist dummy that's been his dark partner in crime for years—as he prepares to marry into wealth and respectability. But the dummy's ghostly voice won't let him forget the hold-ups, the murders, and the calculated drowning that set him on the path to fortune. When Burke destroys his unwanted accomplice and walks down the aisle, the past refuses to stay buried, and the consequences of his sins come calling at the altar itself.
