Whitby, petit port du Yorkshire du Nord, est dominée par les ruines d'une abbaye, qu'on atteint par un escalier de 199 marches. En 1890, l'écrivain irlandais Bram Stoker y passe des vacances ; à la bibliothèque, il découvre dans un livre le nom « Dracula ». Dans le roman, le comte arrive à Whitby à bord d'un navire russe échoué pendant une tempête, et saute à terre sous la forme d'un gros chien noir. Aujourd'hui, la ville accueille un célèbre festival gothique. Les relatifs : where (lieu), which (chose), who (personne), whose (dont, possession).
