Wonderfully classic haunted-house story. In advance of bringing his bride to the old manse he's renovating, a man invites his friend to come check out the place. However, after he sleeps in the small, damp room (complete with a bat flitting about the place), his behavior starts changing drastically. From congeniality and enthusiasm for the future, he snaps to strange fits of temper, and an uncharacteristic tendency toward intemperate drinking and gambling.
When the friend researches the show more house's past - and why it was left empty so long - he discovers the history of a disturbing tragedy - which seems like it may be mirrored by the events happening now. show less

Nice short ghost story set in an eerie swamp. Not terribly much to it, but it evokes a mood quite well
Classic horror story of a crumbling castle with a haunted history. One man, then another, see their personalities degenerate, becoming cruel and intemperate after sleeping in the stone chamber beneath the stairs, and evidently being bitten by an eerie bat. Even under new ownership and following renovation, the past may not quite be through with this home‰ÃƒÂ›_
