| Summary |
"Pimeyden ääniä: Romaani" by Sven Elvestad is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Hans Kristian, an elderly servant, who reports strange occurrences amidst a backdrop of suspense and supernatural elements at a grand estate while the owner, General Jernen, is away. Themes of mystery, potential danger, and elements of folklore are hinted at through the conversations of the characters, particularly concerning hauntings and ghostly encounters. The opening of the novel establishes a conversation between Hans Kristian and Pastor Winge, where Hans, nearing sixty, shares his unsettling experiences of a mysterious apparition lurking at the general’s house. Despite the pastor's skepticism about ghost stories, he is intrigued enough to accompany Hans back to the estate to investigate. They discuss more eerie events, including ghostly laughter that has frightened the household staff, setting a tense atmosphere and drawing readers into a world rich with suspense and the unknown as they embark on their nocturnal adventure.
