"The Mystery of Cloomber" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel first published in 1889. A retired general lives in terror in rural Scotland, haunted by a mysterious crime committed forty years earlier during the First Anglo-Afghan War. Strange sounds accompany him, and his fears peak every October. When three Buddhist priests arrive after a shipwreck, the general resigns himself to his fate, refusing all help as a decades-old vengeance finally closes in.
