Here is a spooky story that was the first in a series of more invisibility on the movie screen and in books. I enjoyed most of the tales of invisibily and the fun and the handicaps. Here we have the original story and it’s the complete story,

A brilliant scientist has had success with his efforts to make himself invisible. He covers himself with clothes and a bulky coat. His hat comes down over his face so that he can hide his unseen features. Problems begin to plague the scientist, as he becomes weirder and stranger. He can now do anything he wants but he is gradually losing his mind as he drops into a moral decline.

This one is a gem and you can hear the complete story from the master of early science fiction, H. G. Wells.
