Subtitle The Woman In Black -

The village of Crythin Gifford did not welcome strangers, especially those who asked after the marshlands. Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor sent from London to settle the estate of the late Mrs. Alice Drablow, felt the chill of their silence the moment he stepped off the train.

The rocking chair moved back and forth, back and forth, driven by an invisible hand.

Arthur finished his business and returned to London, desperate to put the marshes behind him. He married his sweetheart, Stella, and a year later, they took their infant son to a fair. As Arthur watched them on a pony trap, a flash of black silk appeared in the crowd. The woman stood by the gate, her wasted face fixed on the carriage.

In the wreckage, as Arthur cradled the broken bodies of his wife and son, he looked up. The Woman in Black stood mere feet away. She did not speak. She did not move. She simply watched, her vengeance finally complete, leaving Arthur to live the rest of his life in the same cold, lightless silence of Eel Marsh House.
