A skeptical young man who boasts he fears nothing accepts a challenge to spend the night in a castle's infamous haunted chamber, where the true terror isn't what lurks in the shadows — but the darkness itself. Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday and this time I’m bringing you a tale from H.G. Wells… a haunted house story entitled, “The Red Room.” It’s a great short story of a man who does not believe in ghosts, planning to stay in a purportedly haunted room overnight in Lorraine Castle. After being warned by three people before entering, he confidently makes his way to the room… and becomes increasingly unnerved as the night progresses.
