A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf

In this lyrical and symbolic short story, a ghostly couple wanders through a quiet house, searching for a hidden treasure. As they pass silently through rooms once filled with life, their memories and presence echo in the present. The story shifts between the ghosts’ perspective and the living inhabitants, blending past and present with emotional resonance. Rather than horror, the tale explores themes of love, memory, and continuity. It’s a hauntingly beautiful meditation on what we truly leave behind.
