'Gibbet Hill' tells of a sailor murdered by three criminals whose bodies were strung up on a hanging gallows on a hill as a ghostly warning to passing travelers.
A short story by Bram Stoker, the legendary author of 'Dracula,' has been unearthed by a lifelong enthusiast in Dublin who stumbled upon the work while browsing in a library archive.Titled 'Gibbet Hill', the story was uncovered by Brian Cleary in a Christmas supplement of the Dublin edition of the Daily Mail newspaper from 1890 and had remained undocumented for more than 130 years.
'I sat in the library flabbergasted, that I was looking at potentially a lost ghost story from Stoker, especially one from around the time he was writing 'Dracula', with elements of 'Dracula' in it,' said Cleary.
