    whew. after spending many a stupid, winter's night alone on small boats, trying to sleep between wool blankets, encrusted stiff with frost, the story rings uncomfortably true.

      I hope you’re not spending this night that way; on a small, lonely boat shivering beneath frost-encrusted, itchy wool. I don’t think it’s a feeling many people know, anymore but, I do. You have a intriguing descriptive way of conveying a lot, with the brevity of thrift. I’d love to hear your stories, if you care to share one.

    Not sure how I missed this one but the poor neglected and somehow sinister village is my ghostly sweet spot !

      What this town needs - in absence of a Squire - is a good Town Manager. This is Sunderland isn’t it ?

      I also like horror that’s relentless and gets worse with each sentence so this one is a true gem. Speaking as one who falls out of bed fairly routinely I can testify to how damned disorienting it is.
      Could it have been a vulture dragging a huge rotting fish across the deck ?

    I was thinking that, in 50 years, your stories will be considered "classic ghost stories."

    Good one! I absolutely felt the misery of the cold, wet setting, as if that weren't enough! There are worse things than a dreary landscape.

    A damp and dreary tale indeed! I felt it captured well the muddy mess of the color-starved winters of Indiana too, where all we see for months on end is grey, brown, and white. Thank you for another great one!

    Listening to this in a warm, cozy, 1700's farmhouse in Braystones, Cumbria while a storm gusts outside. Saw the full moon start to rise behind Skiddaw yesterday afternoon in the early dusk after a family dog walk. What a beautiful story, and loving the synchronicity of finding it when I am in the Lakes for Christmas (my husbands family are all in Egremont/Whitehaven, we live far down south in Stroud)
    I was diagnosed with ME this year following Covid and a couple of other viruses almost exactly a year ago. I had to leave my job, spent months in bed, and am now back in work in a small way, and on my slow, gentle path to recovery. I love Victorian/Edwardian ghost stories, and your channel has been a godsend this year, keeping me sane in the months when I wasn't strong enough even to read or knit! So pleased to hear that you are making a living from this, and have found confidence in your own stories. This one was excellent.

    Coming back to this after listening over my tv--better sound to give lots of thumbs up CreepyReally creepy creepiness gets louder until it burst s the mind-eardrums.Perfect for a freezing, snowy evening--unfortunately Danish flats do not have blazing hearths. Pity. Am off now to the "Surprise View". Perfect Christmas Eve for those of us in virus isolation. Thank you, Tony!

    I have no experience of such things, never hope to have in future either. That being said, this story rang of such sadness, desolation and fear - just the feelings one would expect a murder victim to experience, and re-experience, searching for anyone to help them. Chilling.
