Doyle was into spiritualism and wrote many (non-Holmes) stories in which the source of conflict turns out in fact to be supernatural; the Professor Challenger novel 'The Land of Mist' comes to mind. That was published later than most of the Holmes stories, but flipping through my copy of 'The Supernatural Tales' I see that the stories included there are from the 1880's and '90's. (And, damaging my point, more than one of the stories in that collection go 'Scooby Doo' in the end. Still, many don't.)patrickdoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674454264527150242noreply@blogger.com
