Charles Dickens

The Haunted House

Annotation "When the narrator stumbles upon a deserted house in his search for a country home, he discovers that local legend holds the place to be haunted, a story that has terrified the local villagers and quickly does the same to his servants. Refusing to be denied, he invites a group of friends to join him, commissioning each with the task of discovering any supernatural inhabitants. On Twelfth Night, they meet to share their ghostly encounters in a evening of lively and fantastic storytelling."
