Classic Ghost Stories

The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson

21 Nov 2025

Description

In Ireland, a newly purchased castle unsettles its American owner. He is wealthy, engaged to a local woman, and certain that jealous countrymen mean him harm. What truly threatens the household is a particular room that fills at night with a dangerous, sustained whistling that rises and falls like breath. Doors quiver; servants keep away. Carnacki is summoned with his lamps, his electric scepticism and his knowledge of spirit manifestations. He investigates, seals the room, warns no one to enter and admits himself stumped. At least at first! “The Whistling Room” was first published in 1910 and later collected in Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder (1913).UK publisher: Eveleigh Nash. William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was an English writer of sea horrors and visionary weird fiction.A former merchant sailor, he served in the First World War and was killed near Ypres.
