However, the unnamed narrator stays in an named house to check out an apparently haunted room. He starts out logical and confident, but during the story becomes unnerved and scared as the candles he has lit are snuffed out, individually at first and then en mass. Soon he is reduced to a wreck and changes his mind about the room. Excellent short story and good for a scary read I didn't realize this was a short story when I selected it. And it is indeed a short - very short - story. And three days later, I can't even remember what it was about, only that I felt unsatisfied when I finished it. Sorry, H.G., this one fell flat for me!
