"The Empty House" by Algernon Blackwood
A good old fashioned ghost story! Pity I didn't put this on the menu back in November for Halloween.
We aren't actually told where this story takes place, but given that Blackwood is from Kent county, England, it seems safe to say it is somewhere in England, and somewhere in Kent would be a good bet. The setting is clearly a coastal town, and Kent has a ton of coastline!
Well, it appears his hometown of Shooter's Hill was eventually absorbed into London and is no longer part of Kent today, but back in 1869 it still was.
The picture used is of an allegedly haunted house in London. Actually rather hard to find pictures of haunted houses in English cities that even slightly approximate the description given in this story. This is decent enough - at least it has steps up to the front door, but no balcony.
