A View from a Hill - by M R James - Classic horror

M.R. James' short ghost story "A View from a Hill" was first published in the London Mercury in May 1925 and later included in the anthology A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories. The story follows an antiquary named Fanshawe, who visits the country home of his friend Squire Henry Richards. As a lover of exploration, Fanshawe asks to borrow a pair of binoculars from Richards to aid in his adventures. The binoculars were once owned by a man named Baxter, a watch-maker and amateur archaeologist who died under mysterious circumstances. As Fanshawe uses the binoculars, he begins to see objects that no longer exist and experiences some unpleasant occurrences. The binoculars seem to have a connection to the ghost of Baxter, causing Fanshawe to become increasingly uneasy. Eventually, Fanshawe discovers that the binoculars were cursed and were the cause of Baxter's death. "A View from a Hill" has been adapted for television, showcasing the enduring popularity of James' ghostly tale. The story serves as a warning against the dangers of greed and the temptation to seek out forbidden knowledge, as Fanshawe learns the hard way. The use of binoculars as a conduit for supernatural activity adds an interesting twist to the traditional ghost story and keeps the reader engaged until the shocking conclusion.
