He is presumed to have been murdered and the finger of blame is pointed firmly at his man-servant, Ivan. Many years after the tragedy, an enigmatic Hungarian traveler and a mysterious Tibetan shaman conduct an eerie ceremony within the cave to determine the true identity of the murderer. Mesmerized by the atmosphere of the place and the ghostly echoes which reverberate through the cave, the onlookers are shocked to learn the truth of what happened to Mr Izvertzoff. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was a Russian philosopher and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. While best known for her occult knowledge and the book "The Secret Doctrine", she also wrote a collection of fictional short stories, collected in a volume called "Nightmare Tales", first published in 1907. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and producing this story, and look forward to reading a few more of HPB's Nightmare Tales very soon.
