John Fothergill West, a Scot, serves as the book's narrator. He and his family recently relocated from Edinburgh to Wigtownshire in order to manage the estate of William Farintosh, his father's half-brother. Cloomber Hall, which has been vacant for a long time, is located close to their home, Branksome. After some time, John Berthier Heatherstone, a former member of the Indian Army, moves in. General Heatherstone is extremely anxious and suspicious. When he is around, many reports hearing a peculiar sound that sounds like a bell tolling and that seems to make them feel very uneasy. Every year, around the fifth of October, his paranoia reaches its peak, following which his worries temporarily abate. Three Buddhist priests who had boarded the ship from Kurrachee are among the survivors of a shipwreck that occurs in the bay later. The chelas were ringing the astral bell to warn the general that no matter where he went, he would always come under their wrath.
