"Den gamla möbeln stod där också som hade den icke rubbats på ett halvt sekel. I översta nyckelhålet satt pjäsens enda nyckel, en tämligen stor och vacker tingest. På marmorplattan hade madame funnit prydligt anbringa två gräsliga porslinsvaser och en pendyl som icke gick."När han av misstag får den gamla sekretären levererad till sitt hem börjar konstiga saker att hända. Han vaknar mitt i natten med hårt bultande hjärta, i korridorerna hör han fotsteg, nycklar som vrids om och dörrar som öppnas, trots att han är ensam i huset ..."Spökrummet" och "Spöksekretären" publicerades som del av ett samlingsverk, "All världens spökhistorier", 1948.Johan Henning Berger (1872-1924) var en svensk författare mest känd för sina emigrationskritiska storstadsskildringar av USA, men även för sina deckare och spökhistorier. Verner von Heidenstam (1859-1940) var en svensk författare, poet och ledamot av svenska akademien mellan 1912-1940.

Carl Gustaf Verner von Heidenstam (1859-1940) was a Swedish poet and novelist, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1916. The Charles Men (Karolinerna) is a series of historical portraits of King Charles XII of Sweden and his cavaliers.

The Charles Men tells of the fall of the Swedish empire, the desperate conditions of an inflexible ruler for what he believed to be true and right, the boundless suffering of an ill-fated people, the ravages of hunger which they endured their inevitable ruin and eternal glory. This unique work has been called a poem in prose and also a hymn on the beauty of Sweden's destruction under King Charles XII. Verner von Heidenstam (1859-1940) was the 1916 Nobel Laureate in Literature in recognition of his significance as the leading representative of a new era in Swedish literature.

Verner von Heidenstam debuterade som författare år 1888 med en diktsamling som bröt med den då rådande svenska litterära traditionen med realism och naturalism, för att istället innehålla romantik, individualism och sensualism. Detta kom att bli stilbildande för flera andra svenska författare under 1890-talet och åren därefter. Han kom därför att bli den främste företrädaren för dessa"nittiotalister" och hans böcker innehåller många nationella och historiska teman. "Om Svenskarnas lynnen" är en essä på just dessa nationella och historiska teman, som titeln antyder behandlar den vad Heidenstam anser vara svenskarnas nationella karaktär.
