Note: This record is for the original French language version. DO NOT ENTER any English language publications under this record, even if they use the same name. A horrific non-speculative tale that belongs among sensational literature but not fantastic literature.

Synopsis: A traveler hears the story of the titular manor house, which has been deserted since the death of its owner Madame de Merret. She once had a lover, and was entertaining him in her bedroom when her husband arrived unexpectedly. She hid her lover in a closet, and when her husband became suspicious, swore on the crucifix that no one was in there but forbade her husband to open it. Thereupon he ordered the closet walled up. Madame de Merret could not say anything, and she and her husband silently listened for days to noises from the walled-off space.
