In his stories, Seaward often sets the scene beautifully. He describes the midnight environment in great detail - the cold wind, the howling of the distant dogs, and the creaking of old houses. And the ghosts he creates are not just simple apparitions. They have their own backstories, which makes them more believable and scarier. For example, a ghost that haunts a place because of a wrong done to it in the past. This adds depth to the story and makes it more than just a simple scare - fest.
Well, one reason could be the atmosphere he creates. Midnight is already a time associated with mystery and the unknown. His stories might play on that, making the reader feel as if they're in that spooky midnight setting. The use of ghosts also adds to the allure as they are classic elements of the supernatural.
Since I don't know the exact stories, it's hard to say. But perhaps he has a unique way of building suspense. Maybe his descriptions of the ghosts are very different from the typical ones, like they have unusual powers or appearances.
I'm not sure specifically which 'Will Seaward' ghost stories are out there. But you could start by checking local libraries or online bookstores. They might have collections that include his work if he is a well - known author in the ghost story genre.

This kind of story, with its elements of mystery and danger, would fit well in a collection of spooky stories like 'the ghost train and other spooky stories'.
