Question

When did the ghost appear before Hallock for the first time

Answer 1

When Hallock was thinking for a plot for Jenkins, the ghost appeared for the first time

Answer 2

Answer :

In the short story 'A Shady Plot' by Elsie Brown, the ghost, Helen, appeared before John Hallock for the first time when he was searching for inspiration for his ghost story for Jenkins.

The ghost appeared before him to inform him that the “Writer’s Inspiration Bureau” was going on strike and so, she would not be able to provide him any more ideas for writing his ghost stories.
