"Rob, I could take you to a castle not ten miles from Cracow in Poland where there are certain relics, which would for ever settle your doubts respecting the existence of vampires. Let us proceed. The son of Mirza, Paul Dhoon, inherited the dreadful proclivities of his mother, but his shadowy existence was cut short in the traditional, and effective, manner. Him we may neglect.
Lord Lashmore took a stride forward. His large hands clenched, and his eyes were blazing. "What do you know about her?" Surprise was in his voice, and anger. "I have seen her portrait in Dhoon Castle; you were not in residence at the time. Mirza, Lady Lashmore, was evidently a very beautiful woman. What was the date of the marriage?" "The third Baron brought her to England from? "Poland."
He drew his son from the room. On the stair: "You understand?" he asked. "The spirit of Mirza came to him again, clothed in his wife's body. Lord Lashmore felt the teeth at his throat, awoke instantly and struck out. As he did so, he turned the torch upon her, and recognised his wife! His heart completed the tragedy, and so to the laughter of the sorceress passed the last of the house of Dhoon."
The fourth Baron Lashmore represents what the world calls 'The Curse of the House of Dhoon.

"Merciful God!" muttered Robert Cairn, "Merciful God, can such things be!" "They can be they are! Two ways have occurred to me of dealing with the matter," continued Dr.
Her headless body could not serve her as a vehicle for nocturnal wanderings, but the evil spirit of the woman might hope to gain control of some body more suitable. "Nurturing an implacable hatred against all of the house of Dhoon, that spirit, disembodied, would frequently be drawn to the neighbourhood of Mirza's descendants, both by hatred and by affinity.
"Lord Lashmore, the curse of the house of Dhoon will prevail until the Polish Jewess who originated it has been treated as her son was treated!" "Dr. Cairn, it is not known where her husband had her body concealed. He died without revealing the secret. Do you mean that the taint, the devil's taint, may recur Oh, my God! do you want to drive me mad?"
The fourth baron son of Paul Dhoon turned a deaf ear to these reports, until the mother of a child a child who had died traced a man, or the semblance of a man, to the gate of the Dhoon family vault. By night, secretly, the son of Paul Dhoon visited the vault, and found....
