The opening of the door happens again the following night, and this time while Carnacki is speaking to his mother the two of them hear a door slam twice downstairs. As they debate what they have seen, the mildew smell returns, more powerful than ever.

Many people present hear the hoofbeats, but no one can find an explanation; Carnacki sets up the electric pentacle around Mary's bed. The landlord claims to see a woman, apparently searching for the child, although Carnacki cannot see it. These are all quite enjoyable even if the reasons given for the haunting is sometimes beyond ludicrous. Carnacki is a bit curt and a touch condescending as he tells his stories to his dinner companions, but he is a no-nonsense sort who lays out the details and events of his various adventures with economy and clarity.

There is enough atmosphere and detail and careful buildup to make a cracking good story, but the tales are still very streamlined.
No option remains to end the haunting but to destroy the house itself.

One of the men, Dodgson, is the actual narrator of the story, who comprises an extremely minimal part of each Carnacki story. They watch the well for the rest of the night, but nothing more happens. Carnacki realizes the pig-face is that of the Hog, which the Sigsand calls an Outer Monstrous One, once powerful on the earth and eager to return. Rather long winded and quite boring, I gave up before the end of the book. I first discovered Carnacki in the 1971 tv series Rivals of Sherlock Holmes

Through their investigation of the third cellar, they find that the prints stop at a disused well, filled with water. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Unnervingly believable.

The following evening, hoofbeats and neighing are heard on the grounds, and Mary is heard screaming. Early in his writing career he dedicated effort to poetry, although few of his poems were published during his lifetime. As they wind up their tour, a second officer sees the ghostly woman.

The Hog (1/7) 4. They all feature Thomas Carnacki, a fictional Edwardian “detective of the occult”, who owes a lot to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation, the consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.

He also attracted some notice as a photographer and achieved some renown as a bodybuilder. No one is hit, but the police arrive to investigate. Carnacki believes that "...the Woman and the Child were not only two complete and different entities; but even they were each not in quite the same planes of existence."

I gave this 3 stars as I found the language a bit difficult to comprehend but it was quite fun to read.

by Peril Press Carnacki is saved only by the intervention of an unknown, second being, which utters the unknown last line of the Saamaa ritual, temporarily rendering the whistling entity powerless.
Carnacki uncovers the truth because of a subtle difference between the "before" and "after" photographs of the altar's cast iron metalwork. Soon after, the ship undergoes a series of strange "shudderings" before it starts to tip onto its side, sending the Electric Pentacle sliding, and forcing Carnacki, Captain Thompson and his three mates to hold on for dear life.

In "The Gateway of the Monster" Carnacki makes reference to the "Noving Fur" case.





Upon studying his photograph, Carnacki realises that he and the men have been played for fools. The downstairs passages are wet with grotesquely shaped footprints. A terrific read. The next morning, though, hoofbeats and neighing can be heard almost immediately, in what seems a direct assault by the invisible horse; Carnacki fires his weapon and Mary's father attacks with his sword.
