Witching Hill

Witching Hill is a haunted house story, with the unusual twist that the "house" in question is an entire London suburb. Author E. W. Hornung (best known for his Raffles books and largely overshadowed by his brother-in-law, Arthur Conan Doyle), combines the supernatural with some pop psychology to create a very modern sort of thriller. Written in 1913, this is a story composed of several episodes involving possible supernatural explanations taking place in a newly developed residential community out of estate whose ancestor was a very unsavory character.
