Ghost Stories #5

In "Pelham's Prediction," Dan Pelham, wrongfully executed for a murder he didn’t commit, curses his grave before his death—swearing no grass will grow there until the true killer meets their end. Years later, the curse seems to stir when the elderly sister of the victim finally passes, and the first green shoots appear on his unmarked plot.

In "Only Pantorro Knew," eccentric painter Andrea Pantorro is haunted by visions of death—first his colleagues', then his own—after a brush with the end. The story unfolds as he grapples with the weight of foresight, trapped between art and fate.

In "Who Was the Stranger?" from Ghost Stories #5 (1964), Brian Cork encounters a man carrying a coffin late one night—only to spot him again the next day in an elevator moments before it plummets, killing everyone inside. The man is nowhere among the victims, leaving Brian to wonder just who—or what—was really on the other side of that final, fatal ride.
