Two short stories by Charles Dickens. 'Mr. Chops' is the story of a remarkable dwarf who once starred in a freak show and has an unrequited love for a fat lady. Having won a lottery, he attempts to enter high society, without success. 'The Signal Man' is a ghost story in which the central character has a premonition of his own death in a railway crash.

Dickens wrote a number of short ghost stories or included sections in novels about ghosts. Here are three ghostly tales including "The Queer Client", "The Signalman" and "The Trial for Murder".
