In "He Walks with a Ghost!" from Dead of Night #2 (1974), a ruthless man inherits a remote estate with a buried cemetery, then calls in a steam shovel to clear the land.

When he wakes, the machine is bearing down on him, and through the cab window, he sees the dead staring back.

In "The Girl Who Didn't Exist!" from Dead of Night #2 (1974), an archeologist becomes entranced by a mysterious maiden statue unearthed in Roman ruins—so captivated that he’s pulled through time to marry her and step into a destiny far greater than he ever imagined.

In "The Frightened Man!" from Dead of Night #2 (1974), a desperate man stages a bizarre ruse—posing as an alien from Pluto—to expose the tyranny of a paranoid dictator.
