| Summary | "Nightmare Tales" by H. P. Blavatsky is a collection of supernatural stories written in the early 20th century. The opening segment, titled “A Bewitched Life,” immerses us in a blend of eerie aesthetics and metaphysical introspection. It revolves around an unnamed narrator who experiences a series of unsettling visions and reflects on his past, heavily shaped by questions of existence and the nature of the unseen world. The beginning of the narrative introduces us to a sickly protagonist confined to his bed in a small German town, where a familiar voice urges him to focus on an intriguing story from the past. This entices him to observe a mystical scene across the street that transforms into a Swiss châlet and reveals an old man writing with a quill. As the story unfolds, the old man begins to recount his own tumultuous life experiences, rooted in skepticism regarding spiritual phenomena, including clairvoyance and reincarnation. From this frame, we are made aware of a psychological and philosophical journey, exploring deep inner conflicts and questioning established beliefs about life, death, and a potential afterlife.
