The first half plants the seeds of mystery, beginning at the “George and Dragon” inn where ominous rumors and a drowned woman’s reappearance stir unease. Philip Feltram emerges as a haunted figure whose connection to the baronet and recurring nightmares deepen the psychological darkness. Intruders, forged notes, and a mad parson blur the line between the supernatural and human greed. Mist-covered mountains and the spectral lake intensify the chill as secrets tighten around Bale and Feltram. This part builds the mounting tension, hinting at unseen forces taking control.
