The Woman in Black
An older Arthur Kipps hires an actor to stage the story of his visit to Eel Marsh House after the death of reclusive widow Mrs. Drablow. There he sees a black-clad woman, hears a child drown in the marsh and uncovers Jennet Humfrye’s loss of her son; after the ghost’s return, Kipps’s own wife and child are killed, and the actor learns that the Woman in Black has entered their rehearsal.
