The Gipsy Prophecy

Dr. Burleigh and Joshua Considine visit a gipsy encampment on a moor, where they witness a fortune teller’s predictions and prophecies. The gipsy woman foretells a tragic event, which Considine’s wife Mary believes will come to pass. Despite skepticism from the men, Mary becomes increasingly convinced of the prophecy’s accuracy. As the story unfolds, the gipsy’s words prove to be eerily correct, leading to a comedic yet unsettling conclusion. Through the tale, Stoker explores themes of superstition, femininity, and the power of prophecy.
