In the dead of night on a hazardous road, an unknown woman speeds through the countryside, on her way to catch John before he leaves the country, under the mistaken belief that his daughter is dead. The woman’s car crashes, and the victim reappears as a ghost. She doesn’t immediately realize she’s dead and proceeds to John’s house. To her surprise, she cannot be seen or heard. The despondent John goes for a walk, followed by the Ghost Woman. In the woods, a werewolf, who can see her, attacks them both. He grapples with the Ghost Woman while John flees. Ghost Woman discovers she can touch supernatural things with no problem, and also realizes that silver can kill a werewolf. She tries to provide John clues, such as exerting her will and moving a blunderbuss and silver fork. The werewolf regroups with his werewolf pack and leads an attack. The alpha male is killed by a shot from a silver bullet. The others flee, and John vows to make hunting them down his life’s mission. Note: The Dark Horse Comics character, The Ghost, was inspired by Ghost Woman. Along with other Golden Age public domain Canadian characters, Ghost Woman was revived in 2010 for Moonstone Books’ Johnny Canuck and the Guardians of the North by Ty Templeton.
