Experiencing Interruptions?

Horla

The construction of a dam leads to the destruction of the biotope of a part of the forest and the beginning of strange phenomena. A multiplication of hallucinations of supernatural beings as well as cases of aggravated schizophrenia will spread like an epidemic of madness in the region.
The case of a young poet will particularly attract the attention of doctors because it seems completely sane and his story casts doubt on the very reason of science.
While having a good time in an inn in the heart of the forest he will be convinced that the invisible seems to be alive..
