Young traveler Allan Grey, a student obsessed with the occult, arrives in a remote inn and starts seeing weird, inexplicable sights (a man whose shadow has a life of its own, a mysterious scythe-bearing figure tolling a bell, a terrifying dream of his own burial). Things come to a head when one of the daughters of the owner of a nearby castle is dying of what appears to be anemia - or is it something more sinister?
