Emily Talbot besuchte mit ihrem Mann das Grab ihrer Eltern auf dem Trinity Cemetery. Es war fünf Uhr nachmittags. Die Dunkelheit kroch wie ein Moloch über den menschenleeren Friedhof. Trübe flackerten Kerzenflämmchen im milchigen Nebel. Feiner Regen sprühte auf Edinburgh. Seine etwas jüngere Frau zündete die Kerze in der Grablaterne an. Ihr Blick ging dabei an ihrem Mann vorbei. Hinter ihm schälte sich eine dunkle Gestalt aus dem Nebel.

Mit einem schmetternden Krachen schlug der waagerecht durch die Luft treibende Ast gegen die Windschutzscheibe des Kleinwagens. Der Sturm packte den Wagen, rüttelte ihn durch. Gleichzeitig rammte Bud Singleton den Fuß auf das Bremspedal, als er die Frau erblickte. Sie geriet für Sekunden in die Scheinwerferkegel, den Mund zu einem unhörbaren Schrei des Grauens aufgerissen, die Augen starr und riesengroß in dem bleichen Gesicht.

Eisige Luft wehte Celia Holborn ins Gesicht und ließ sie frösteln. Langsamen Schrittes verließ sie, als erste der Trauergäste, den kleinen, verwahrlosten Friedhof. Urplötzlich zuckte sie zusammen. War da nicht ein Geräusch gewesen? Bedächtig drehte sie ihren Körper in Richtung des wild wuchernden Busches, von dem der Laut gekommen war. Da war doch jemand. Sie erschrak, als sich eine mit Erde bedeckte, halb verweste Hand aus dem Halbdunkel schälte. Ihr Schrei zerriss die Stille. Vor ihr stand ein Toter.

Die Uhr auf dem Kaminsims schlug fünfmal. Mrs. Edith Marbel trat an das Fenster und blickte in den trüben Himmel. Dichter Regen fiel auf London. Als sie hinter sich ein Geräusch hörte, drehte sie sich rasch um. Wieder hörte sie ein Geräusch, ein Schaben und Scharren. Ketten klirrten. Dann erklang ein schauriges, dumpfes Gelächter. Mrs. Marbel presste die Hand vor den Mund. Sie begann zu zittern. Plötzlich füllte sich das Zimmer mit Schreckensgestalten, teuflisch grinsenden Fratzen, Dämonen.
