We present spectroscopic and photometric data of the peculiar type Ib supernova 2001gh, discovered by the "Southern inTermediate Redshift ESO Supernova Search" at a redshift z=0.16. SN 2001gh has high luminosity at maximum, while the light curve shows a broad, delayed peak. An early-time spectrum shows an almost featureless blue continuum with a few weak P-Cygni lines that we attribute to He I. These lines remain the only spectral features visible in another spectrum obtained one month later. Three possible scenarios are considered: a massive and energetic progenitor with M(ejecta) 30 Mo, E 6xE52 erg and earlier explosion date; a moderate-mass progenitor with M(ejecta) 15 Mo, M(Ni) = 0.65 Mo and E 18xE51 erg; or a more canonical SN Ib with a dense, circumstellar shell.
