Summary "The Laird o' Coul's Ghost" by William Ogilvie is an 18th-century chapbook composed during the early 18th century. This work is a fascinating narrative that delves into the supernatural, as it recounts the ghostly appearances of Maxwell Laird of Coul after his death. It serves as a reflection on moral and ethical issues, with profound discussions about justice, the afterlife, and the impact of one's actions while alive. The story unfolds through a series of "conferences" between the ghost of the Laird and Mr. Ogilvie, a minister who is both intrigued and perplexed by the Laird's requests for justice concerning unresolved matters from his life. The Laird, seeking to rectify wrongs he committed before his death, is shown grappling with the consequences of his actions in life while navigating the limitations of his ghostly existence. Throughout their conversations, themes of morality and the justice system of the afterlife are explored, providing readers with thought-provoking insights into the nature of good and evil, as well as the complexities of human behavior and the potential for redemption.
