Here, he heard many unexplained noises, which the local community then informs him are from ‘The Woman in Black’, a well known ghostly figure known in the area. The story discusses the death of a child, which consequently leads to the deaths of many other children, most notably his own wife and child.

Personification is the assignment of animate (living) features to inanimate (non-living) objects. At the beginning of the extract the:

‘Windows were rattling everywhere and there was the sound of moaning down all the chimneys of the house and whistling through every nook and cranny.’
