Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) is known as one of the originators of the modern ghost story. Either which way, they are a fantastic read - and definitely so for anyone interested in the 'classic' ghost story. Also, for antiquarians they're particularly fun.
The 1904 'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary' was succeeded in 1911 by the second collection - 'More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary'. H.P. Lovecraft called him 'a literary weird fictionist of the very first rank'.
