AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A country visit in England in 1864 results in the narrator accepting a bet to spend a night alone in a reputedly haunted house. He witnesses the ghostly murder of a small boy and is found in the morning with a head wound and judged insane for several months. Some time later he revisits the house when it is being renovated and uncovers the boy's skeleton in a secret room in the cellar. (PB)
