Here are four ghost stories by the famous British writer Charles Dickens, adapted for learners of English (CEFR level B1).

We meet a signalman working on a lonely railway line, who has a terrible secret ... Two men, who are the only guests in a hotel where strange things keep happening ... A painter, who meets a mysterious young woman on a train and is asked to paint her portrait ... An old professor with many sad memories, who is given a choice – does he want to forget his past?
