"The Red Room" by H. G. Wells is a chilling short story set in a haunted manor, where a bold protagonist spends the night in its most infamous chamber to debunk rumors of paranormal activity. Driven by logic, the protagonist enters the Red Room, but quickly descends into a terrifying ordeal as unexplained events unfold around him. As candles are snuffed out one by one, deepening the shadows, his courage wanes, and unexplainable fear overtakes him. Ultimately, he discovers that the room's true horror isn't ghosts, but the overwhelming power of fear and the mind itself, forever imprinted on the room's atmosphere and all who dare to enter.
