"The Phantom Coach" by Amelia Edwards is a classic Victorian gothic ghost story, widely considered a masterpiece of 19th-century supernatural fiction. Lost in a blinding blizzard on the desolate, heather-covered moors of Northern England, young barrister James Murray is desperate to return to his anxious wife. After seeking temporary shelter in a lonely, mysterious homestead belonging to a reclusive scientist, he sets out into the freezing night to catch the midnight mail coach at a remote crossroads.

“The Phantom Coach” is no Uber ride

Amelia B. Edwards: "The circumstances I am about to relate to you have truth to recommend them. My recollection of them is as vivid as if they had taken place only yesterday. Twenty years, however, have gone by since that night." https://americanliterature.com/author/amelia-b-edwards/short-story/the-phantom-coach

The Phantom Coach

Amelia Edwards: "Then a wavering speck of light came suddenly out of the dark, shifting, disappearing, growing momentarily nearer and brighter. Running towards it at full speed, I found myself, to my great joy, face to face with an old man and a lantern." https://americanliterature.com/author/amelia-b-edwards/short-story/the-phantom-coach
