Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the biographical information on the author s and publication dates. It helps to place the stories in their place in time. So thank you for taking the time to include this helpful information.
Each & every story you narrate is always excellent quality & so entertaining. You really are a brilliant narrater, can’t understand why you don’t have at least a million followers!✊♥️
I read this story about 6 years & had totally forgotten about it! Once again beautifully narrated & I love the method that Bell uses to expose ghostly frauds!
I love this one Simon! I don't know how you could possibly improve on the first recording as each one is perfection. As always, an exceptional performance! ❤ Thank you!
Thanks Chris. You may well have heard this before, it's a re-release to celebrate the fact that I finally finished the whole series! Hope you enjoyed anyway. More coming soon
As a person who habitually falls asleep listening to audio books and has to revisit to eventually reach the end, imagine my horror to be uncharacteristically awake and waiting for the outcome... only to have my mobile run out of battery just at the point of 'we are buried alive!' Aaaargh! I am far less worried about the 'happy as they deserve' ending (which I think was a former days' more positive, yet honest, way of ending a story than saying the overused 'happy ever after' or 'they walked off into the sunset together') than I am by whoever devised this chamber of horrors and for what purpose? Well, the purpose is plain, I suppose, but to whom and why? Aaaargh! Aaaargh! Coffee coming up, Simon! Lol.
Thank you, Simon. I have loved your readings since I found my first audio offering. I don't think that one dollar a month will do much for your coffee, or tea, but I will sign up for that soon.
It speaks volumes about the superstitious and how it can make a home in your brain and pass it on to the next generation. That explains a lot about Europe!
I think it's physiological fact that good narrators all have either fine taste in piano music or are accomplished pianists themselves. Strange... I'm unfortunately a mediocre pianist and a rotten narrator at best.
I have to admit it's not me playing the intro music! That's the very talented Esther Abrami. I do play the piano a little, but more for my own amusement than in public

Yes, I luv these Thank You *Simon*
I have insomnia , I can't sleep unless I'm listening to you ❤❤❤❤. I wonder how many others feel this way. You have saved my sanity. Thank you so much.
Simon's stories are extremely helpful!
Not just these stories but all sorts of shorter you tube video I find helps me sleep.
Me too..

Glad to know it's useful/interesting, thanks Linn

Much appreciated, thanks Julie! We're getting there, slowly... it's good to have a target!
Your bite sized stories are astounding. I love the language that the writers of old use. Marvellous ❤
I read this story about 6 years & had totally forgotten about it! Once again beautifully narrated & I love the method that Bell uses to expose ghostly frauds!
Thanks Anthony. Yes, I think this is one of the best in the series, glad to know you enjoyed it
👍to all the above; and I love the music 🎶 introduction theme.
Excellent story and reading! 😁 You always do a fantastic job!
Thank you!
I love this one Simon! I don't know how you could possibly improve on the first recording as each one is perfection. As always, an exceptional performance! ❤ Thank you!
Thanks Susan, appreciated
"...and I believe that they are as happy as they deserve." What a BACKHANDED benediction!!! It appears the author has something of a mean streak!
LOL Bell never forgave Clinton for all the stress he put them both through
I have to admit, I did wonder about that... he does get very annoyed with young Clinton!
Mean streak...or... snappily spoken truth? 🧐😂 reminds me of Biblo Baggin's birthday speech haha
That sounds like something I would say🤣🤣
Rodney Dangerfield asked a couple if they were newly weds, they said yes, then he looked them over and said, “you both could’ve done better..”
Oh, wow - first to upvote - first to comment.
This is going to be so good.
👍🏻❤️
Thanks Chris. You may well have heard this before, it's a re-release to celebrate the fact that I finally finished the whole series! Hope you enjoyed anyway. More coming soon
I did but it’s such a good one - one of the best of its type - I can listen to it again - and again.
:)

Stanhope is a great voice actor.

Excellent Narrator
Some very evil minds on the Earth, perfect as always Simon. Many thanks xxx
There are indeed... Thanks as ever for listening Lynda
You must be psychic Simon. You seem to know when I need to hear your dulcet tones. Thanks x
Beautifully read. Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing these spooky stories, Simon. You really make these tales come alive. Happy Holidays to all! 😊🌲
Thanks!!! How wonderful
Love this… I’m new to your channel… now a big fan as well!
Wonderful! Welcome to the channel, thanks for listening
This was a good one, among all the good ones.
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why - I cannot tell;
But this I know, and know full well,
I much prefer our friend John Bell.
@@ruthhenderson5413 Thank you, I use that quote sometimes, but I never remember the exact wording and usually say Mr. Fell.
Excellent narration
Thanks!
Sometimes I consider purchasing books by the authors of the stories on here, but I don't-because it would spoil the surprise! 😅🥰
It speaks volumes about the superstitious and how it can make a home in your brain and pass it on to the next generation. That explains a lot about Europe!
Right. Off to make bread, sweep and mop floors and maybe tackle the ironing.
I need something to keep the brain awake. Thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤

What a winer that clinton!
😀👍👍👍👍
Thanks for listening!
