And another thing.... very recently I read (maybe on voat) that Hawthorne was an occultist or a Mason or both. Thinking about that makes me think his creepy story ( in Hawthorne Selected Tales and Sketches, pub. by Holt Rinehart & Winston) Young Goodman Brown.

On line version of the story [PDF]

Maybe Young Goodman Brown is a true story, and/or maybe like Lovecraft he was trying to show 'his world' to the reader.

Very spooky.
