Carnacki the Ghost Finder
“Then I heard it, an extraordinary hooning whistle, monstrous and inhuman, coming from far away through corridors to my right.”
If you are looking for a good ghost story for this season's reading for Halloween, The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson is a good one.

I've read "The Whistling Room" twice (once when I was just a preteen kid), and consider it a very powerful, eerie supernatural story. (view spoiler)[It's only defect is the use of a Deus ex machina device to extract the protagonist from certain doom, which feels (to me, at least) like authorial cheating. (hide spoiler)] We have the complete collection of Hodgson's Carnacki stories at the BC library where I work, and I hope to read them all before long.

I thought it was a perfect story for Halloween.
