Elements of the variation "Spectral" that make it gothic include the following. The date of writing, as listed in the variation, is 1783. Also, the events are presented as if the first man were a ghost and the narrator is a witness to the activities of the ghost. This makes the variation "dark," which is often an element of the gothic novel.
