    Tony, you are quite a talented writer in addition to your narrative techniques. I feel it brings you and listeners closer, like we are in the same room with you, getting ready to hear you read to us. I love it! You are second to none.

    About 30 years ago a psychic told my mum that I would have a career in music. At that time I was playing in a Goth band. So I naturally thought we were going to be famous. I've been a concert photographer for the last 15 years.

      Saw a Palmist/Psychic my first year in college; I thought I was going to focus on Writing (Bukouski, Thompson; Smith,etc.) but she said I definitely wasn’t here for Writing (JESUS- what now?!?) then she asked me I sing or use my voice in some way because she visualized a Microphone...skip to my 5yr BA in Audio Visual Arts: Photography., Audio Recording, Video Production, started off at a Recording Studio internship & moved on to Live Sound Engineering & A/V... for my first career🎙🎚🎛🎥💻 Amazing!

    Great little story. Very atmospheric. I lived in Kew for a couple of years and this reminded me of my various jaunts through London, observing life. I think coincidence was a very interesting factor in this story too. As it's not the number thirteen that gets her in the end, the number of times she's made aware of that number must just be coincidence. I often have that experience of someone saying something, quite odd and unusual, and me at the exact same time reading the same words in a newspaper or book. Coincidence, of course, but it's always very unnerving. Lovely listening experience as always. Thank you.

    Good story Tony, I really enjoy that you put your own works in among the other authors. Even though I've not ever been to London, from movies and Murder Maps, and from a lot of true crime shows that get really specific about parts of the city from the late 1700s thru the present, I feel like some places have gotten a bit familiar, so some of Alicia's walk - esp on the toe-path - was easy to picture.
    As usual, you had me giggling with your chatting at the end, especially the imaginings of a horror story with no horror in it, although for some reason your explanation that your street has no #13 on it, that you are at #11 and your neighbor is #15 kind of caught me on a mental funny bone too.
    Looking forward to next time! 💕

      @@ClassicGhost Strangest coincidence happened later on today, after listening to your videos and today is one particularly about the flowers are used to use this thing where I would visualise myself getting flowers and then try to manifest them, Then out of the blue today I got flowers and as I was cutting them and putting them into the vase I noticed the strangest thing- instead of there being a dozen flowers, there were 13!! I was already very surprised that I got the flowers but then for them to be 13 instead of 12! You probably don’t believe me but I’m not the kind of person to make something up like this!

    I quite like this story...your attention to detail drew me in until I really felt like I was there. You've definitely got a talent sir. I truly hope you'll continue on as you have been..writing, reading, sharing, "diatribing". I can imagine the variety of feedback you receive, and its hard not to take things personally. I mean many of these stories are your " babies" so to speak. But please don't let the negative naysayers change your style. You will never make everyone happy; none of us can. As I've said before, horror is horror for a reason. If one wants hearts (not carved out from a living being), flowers (not dead ones), and happy endings.. there are plenty of channels with that type of content. Frankly for me, I like a variety of genres. If I constantly heard happy flowery prose all the time, that'd be horrific! Haha! Thanks so much for all your hard work running this great channel..and for reading my diatribe.
    A lil irony: my birthday is the 13th of a month, my hubby's birthday is the 13th of a different month. Our first date was on a Friday the 13th. We were going to be married on a 13th, but it was a Sunday and the church did not officiate weddings on Sundays. So we married on a Friday the 11th.
