by Rue Morgue ManorFebruary 7, 2018

Tune in this week for the latest from HorrorBabble audio horror, featuring CARNACKI, THE GHOST-FINDER, a collection of occult detective short stories by English writer William Hope Hodgson.
 
This week: “The Horse of the Invisible”. According to Hisgins family tradition, any first-born female will be haunted by a ghostly horse during her courtship. This story has been long considered a legend, but now for the first time in seven generations there is a first-born female, and her fiancee has just suffered a broken arm after an attack by a mysterious assailant. Carnacki is summoned to investigate.
