Narrator's Note: Take care when entering a haunted house, for you hunt a past that to you is unknown. A nugget about Algernon Blackwood. Not a name you think of when you think of a private secretary, dairy farmer, model or bartender, but Blackwood was all those things at one time or another. Safe to say his real interests lay in the mysteries of the occult and the supernatural, such that H.P. Lovecraft named him one of the "Modern Masters of Supernatural Horror", and H.P. was pretty spooky. And being a spook-master himself, Blackwood was a member of The Ghost Club as well as a faction of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which only seems like places to join if your name is Blackwood. Look out for the works of Algernon Blackwood wherever great books are available, if you dare.
