He by H. P. Lovecraft

"He" by H. P. Lovecraft is a short story written in August 1925. After moving from New England to New York City, an anonymous narrator encounters a mysterious man in 18th-century clothing who promises to reveal the town's hidden secrets. The stranger shares a dark tale of a colonial squire who learned forbidden rituals from Native Americans, then betrayed them fatally. Through supernatural visions of the city's past and future, the narrator discovers a terrifying truth that awakens vengeful spirits long thought silenced.
