“From the Dead” is a ghost story by the English writer Edith Nesbit, first published in her Grim Tales collection in 1893. The first-person narrative follows Arthur, who, engaged to Elvire, is given a letter displaying her love for another man, and breaks off their engagement. Elvire marries that other man, Oscar, six months later, and Arthur later weds Ida, the friend who delivered the letter. A few weeks after their marriage, Ida confesses that she had forged the letter, and Arthur leaves to gather his thoughts. When he returns Ida has disappeared.
A few months later Arthur receives a telegram from Ida asking him to come to the farm where she is now living, as she is dying. But he arrives too late, and finds that she has died from the complications of childbirth.
Arthur spends the night in the farmhouse with his new son. Ida's ghost appears to him seeking forgiveness, but he recoils from her advances, and after recovering from his panic he finds her body outside his room.
Doctors suggest that Ida may have been suffering from catalepsy, leaving Arthur to ponder whether her visit was supernatural, and if he had accepted her advances instead of recoiling from them, she might still be alive.
