The Haunted Hotel Ep.8 | Illusions Collapse | Gothic Audiobook by Wilkie Collins


The truth is closer than it has ever been.

In Episode 8 of The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins, skepticism collides with terror as Francis Westwick arrives in Venice determined to expose the so-called haunting as superstition and exaggeration. What he encounters instead is something far more disturbing — a room that produces physical effects no one else can sense… and a presence that seems to choose its victims carefully.

As Francis investigates the infamous chamber once known as Room 14, now disguised as 13A, the mystery deepens. Strange odors, sudden illness, and selective perception challenge all rational explanations. When others smell nothing, Francis recoils in horror — forcing a chilling question:
Is the haunting supernatural… or psychological?

The episode takes a darker turn when Countess Narona, the widow of Lord Montbarry, enters the story — a woman burdened by guilt, obsession, and prophetic dread. Her cryptic conversation hints at secrets yet unrevealed and a destiny racing toward its conclusion.

Narrated by Nayara, with music, artwork, and cinematic editing by Raul, Episode 8 strips away illusions and pushes The Haunted Hotel toward its final reckoning.

This is gothic mystery at its most psychological — where belief becomes dangerous, and disbelief offers no protection.
