Reader stumbles on Dracula’s ancestors in a Dublin library - Bram Stoker - The Guardian
(Not convinced by the 'eerie echoes' to Stoker's novel stuff).
Here's an image of the story (right click to open it in a new tab)
Interestingly the setting of the story is a real place, Gibbet Hill at Hindhead in Surrey. The hill and the past events mentioned in the story are also referred to in Dicken's Nicholas Nickleby.
There is a kind of 'eerie echo' to Dracula in this setting. Cue spooky music. Gibbet Hill was used by Hammer as the location for Jonathan Harker's coach ride at the start of Dracula (1957). See past CHFB thread here.
