Read the truly terrifying classic English ghost story behind the play.

Arthur Kipps, a junior barrister, is called to the funeral of Mrs. Alice Drablow, the sole occupant of Eel Marsh House. The house sits at the end of a high road, shrouded in fog and mystery, but it is only when he spots a frail young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold. This unease is deepened by the locals' reluctance to speak of the Woman in Black—and her terrible purpose.
