Silent Summer: The Haunted Castle (1921) directed by F.W. Murnau




 There really isn't much haunted anything in this film as the story centres around a group of aristocratic hunters stuck indoors because of a storm and receiving an unwanted visitor - a man accused of murder three years before. The plot revolves around his efforts ot vindicated himself and is more like a Agatha Christie mystery than anything else. Being a Murnau film is it exceptionally well made, great editing and interesting shots as the twists and turns and new guests arrive to shine light on the murder and who might really be the killer. 

The Kino restored version is on youtube:
