Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Haunted House On our right stood the house which had attracted my attention, and though it was far back from the street, I could see, even in the twilight, that it was large and well built and was surrounded by what had once been a beautiful garden. It was closed, by door and by win dow, but there was no evidence of any great precautions against those who might desire to enter, and, indeed, entrance looked to be an easy thing enough. The gar den was overgrown with weeds and vines, and though an occasional rose-tree raised its hardy head above the tangle at its feet, it was plain that for many a year no careful hand had trained or pruned its thorny branches. In fact, the strange thing about the whole place was the air of total neglect which had at first struck my atten tion, and in this it was such a contrast to all that I saw of the rest of the village, that I turned at once to the man at my side for an explanation. He hesitated a mo ment before answering me, and then prefaced his answer with a slow shake of the head which showed me at once that something was amiss.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Haunted Houses: Tales of the Supernatural; With Some Account of Hereditary Curses and Family Legends But, nevertheless, the era of the haunted house has long been on the wane. There is too much intellectual priggishness prevalent nowadays for the fine old crusted tales Of the Moated Grange and its Spectral inhabitants to attract more than an amused tolerance, as things only fitting for children. To an age which knows so much more than was known fifty years ago, and therefore presumes that it has arrived at a complete knowledge of all there is to know in heaven and earth, talk of Spirits is - what a more subject was, in the words of St. Paul, to the Greeks foolishness.

Download or read book The Haunted House written by Charles Charles Dickens and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-17 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first volume of the story, we're introduced to John, the narrator, and his sister Patty, who go to live in the house that's the subject of the tale. The house is ''a solitary house, standing in a sadly neglected garden,'' described as stiff, cold, and formal. It is known to be haunted; in particular, bells ring without provocation and one of the siblings' servants observes ''Eyes'' at the residence. The siblings decide to release all their servants (save Bottles, a deaf stableman) and live in the house by themselves. Patty has an idea to invite seven friends to the house to ''form a Society here for three months'' and observe the ghostly happenings around the home. Indeed, in November, friends begin arriving at the house and draw straws to see who gets what room. From these visitors, we get the remaining volumes in ''The Haunted House.'' Each visitor promises to keep any supernatural occurrences to themselves until the Twelfth Night, ''the last night of holy Christmas,'' when they plan to gather and share their stories.
