Page numbers from Google snippet view and The Supernatural Index. Several translators are listed incorrectly- Goethe's "The Waterman" is listed as translated by T. Aytoun instead of Theodore Martin. Averchenko's "The Beyond" is translated by Joseph Arthur Bimstone, not A.J. Bimstone. Asch's "God's Bread" is translated by {{A|Maurice Samuel}}, not Marie. Munch's "Hindenberg's March into London" is translated by {{A|L. G. Redmond-Howard}}, not E. Redmond-Howard. Keller's "The Virgin as Nun" is mistakenly listed as translated by Ellie Schleussner. It is actually by {{A|Mary Hottinger}}.
