Summary

The Haunted Baronet by Sheridan Le Fanu is about the rumors surrounding the Mardykes and their haunted estate. Excerpt: "The pretty little town of Golden Friars—standing by the margin of the lake, hemmed round by an amphitheater of the purple mountain, rich in tint and furrowed by ravines, high in the air, when the tall gables and narrow windows of its ancient graystone houses, and the tower of the old church, from which every evening the curfew still rings, show like silver in the moonbeams, and the black elms that stand round throw moveless shadows upon the short level grass—is one of the most singular and beautiful sights I have ever seen."
