    The Clinton family is cursed, according to an old legend which describes a terrible fate awaiting each heir in the afterlife. Paranormal investigator John Bell returns in this ripping yarn involving secret tunnels, underground chambers and a door which apparently opens or closes according to an "infernal witchcraft"... Story begins at 00:01:20
    Note for returning listeners: This is a new recording of one of my earliest stories for the channel, a re-upload to mark the completion of the series in October 2023. It is also available to listen in the full video of all six stories: ruclips.net/video/dLacvjNP_WU/видео.html

    "...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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @BitesizedAudio
      @BitesizedAudio  Год назад +2

      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
