The Haunted Sentinel Tower (1911)

We are first shown two lovers bidding the General good night and being guided out of the labyrinth of turns and angles in an old Spanish fortification by the sea; after viewing the beauty of this crumbling grandeur, they are suddenly halted by their guide, who indicates that they must go no further towards the sentinel tower, as it is haunted. Laughing at his superstition, they start in its direction, when a distant church clock chimes out the midnight hour and clearly upon the walls of the fortification can be seen the ghost of the tragic past. The guide then starts to tell them the story of this ill-fated pair, and here the present fades away into the past and we are shown the sad story of José, the sentinel of the tower, and of Louise, daughter of the Governor-General of the island.
