"The Jolly Corner" is a short story by Henry James published first in the magazine The English Review in December 1908. One of James' most noted ghost stories, "The Jolly Corner" describes the adventures of Spencer Brydon as he prowls the now-empty New York City house where he grew up. Spencer encounters a "sensation more complex than had ever before found itself consistent with sanity".
