the evening, two strangers are in the dark corridors a picture gallery. With a slight chill, one of them said
"This place is ominous. Do you believe in ghosts?
"This place is ominous. Do you believe in ghosts?
"I do not," replied the other. And you?
"I do," said the first and disappeared.

George Loring Frost
(England, 1887 /?)
.
Some facts about the author say he was born, supposedly, in Brentford, England, in 1887, and this story belongs to his book Memorabilia (1923). Was included in the Anthology of Fantastic Literature, by Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares and Silvina Ocampo (Bogota, Editorial Sudamericana, 1994).
But they say that Frost did not exist and was itself an invention of Jorge Luis Borges. Frost does not appear in English literature and writing vocabulary is typical of Borges. Nor do we know the date of the death of Frost and Borges know that played a lot with the "imprecise." Who can bring something more about this suspect Frost, do so. Welcome.
