    The Candle in the Hall
    Nov 10 2025

    “The Candle in the Hall” is a classic horror short story steeped in gothic atmosphere and psychological dread. Set in an old country house haunted by memory and regret, the tale follows Margaret, a grieving widow who keeps a single candle burning each night for her late husband. But as the nights grow colder, strange sounds begin to echo through the halls, footsteps, whispers, and the voice of a forgotten child calling her name.

    With its slow-building tension, haunting imagery, and eerie sense of nostalgia, “The Candle in the Hall” captures the timeless fear of being watched by the past. Perfect for readers who love ghost stories, supernatural fiction, and quiet, atmospheric horror, this story blends loss, guilt, and the supernatural into a chilling reminder that some lights are better left unlit.
