Beautifully written! This story really set me back in that day and time. Sounds like you did your research, too. I think your listeners would love to hear more period pieces like this with ghosts and vengeful spirits. I sure would! (Anyway, bloody well done, this one. 😉)
And on a side note- besides the great story, the audio effects on this one are really perfectly done! Just loud enough to add to the narrative, with a few louder exceptions of course....which were very effective lol.
I’ve really enjoyed your podcasts. I’ve subscribed to your Podcasts on Spotify. Thank you so much. You are making the difficult time for those alone to tolerate the isolation.
I agree, I probably would have suspected it was a ghost until the denouement. Maybe The Dalston Guest after the short story by Mr Stoker? Anyway, great writing Tony and beautifully narrated. 👏
YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS ( Alone ) AND (( in. the )) (( pitch black of )) (( DARKNESS )) then you will jump as she a Screams as. I. did --------------------------- Now, to the narrator and to the person that uploaded this thank you I. enjoyed the jump out of bed at 4 a.m. see you in the next story
Brillant. You enhance the story with your voice, presentation; with perfect voice intonation, great sound-effects, and a Vampire accent which would deceive any respectable Vampire into being convinced you are one of their own. Thank you. Please continue doing a fantastic job.Much appreciated!!!!
Oh my. This is an excellent story. Written and narrated by a true master. Oh, I love the description of the "guest" throughout the story. The initial description of him is amazing. I do not scare easily, but this one put me on a heightened alert. This is a true gem. I have so much to say, but I do not want to spoil it for those who read threads before listening to the story. Suffice it to say, only a very old werewolf from the deepest reaches of the Black Forest would "save the day" in this case. Excellent job, Tony! I will be sending this out to friends to listen to.
@@ClassicGhost It really is awesome, can't praise it highly enough. I'm currently sitting in front of a fire on the Border between Teesdale and Weardale, listening to the wind howl and feeling the cold - which is much colder for having listened to your atmospheric tale.
Really enjoyed this! And the sound effects! You build up the menace of the gathering Scots beautifully. And as for that guest...I had no idea as to where his loyalties lay. Until the end...
A very fine vampire tale, very much in the classic gothic vein whilst being highly original - exceptionally well written and very effectively read. A tale worthy to join the canon of great English vampire stories.
Yes, of course. Please do...You're totally welcome. I liked the allusions to P-Celtic and Q-Celtic, Mab/Mac, to indicate the ancientness of the revenant.
A warning for those listening with headphones, you may wish to turn the volume down a touch around the 16:10 mark! Bloody marvelously atmospheric, the sound effects are perfect & really make you feel as if you are there (especially through headphones, with your eyes closed, I was transported into the tower) So once again THANK YOU for your brilliant writing & narration ❤️🔥🌠❤️🔥
Oh my, this channel was just suggested on my feed . I am on my 3rd vampire story, subscribed to the channel and feel a weekend binge coming on. You tell a wicked good story. Thank you.
'Light a candle for me,' Lady Dalston said. I loved the witty foreshadowing throughout this tale. A vampire that doesn't perish in sunlight and only crosses one's threshold on invitation? I sense a subtle nod to Stoker, too. Fun story, and wonderfully narrated as always.
@@ClassicGhost it irritated me so much that Twilight caused so much damage to the Gothic & Mystic characteristics of Dracula. It reduced it to teeny-bopper-braindead romance with very outdated ideas of love & worth of woman's life.
*Spoiler Alert* do not read this comment until after listening. Lady Dalston's screaming woke up one of my fuzzy cats & scared her. The wind is also howling here as I listen so it fits this story. It's a good story; especially for All Hallows Eve🧛♂️🎃🦇
God, this channel is fantastic, an absolute gem, yet so underrated that it makes me sad. I only recently found it, but consider me your fan 🧡💜❤️ And please, keep doing the good job 🙂
You must listen to this completely alone And you must listen to this in the darkest of dark you can get a room. And the very first time you listen to it you will jump as I did when she screams. Now to the individual that uploaded this : Thank you I enjoyed the startle at 4 a.m. I love horror And I could never get enough of it Once again thank you
This is my second or third time listening to this particular story. I can't express to you how much I love these old vampire stories it's a Pity that it was not longer. Well I just wanted to tell you of how much I enjoyed it once again. I Wonder if you have any more early early centuries horror stories like this ? I love to hear the passionate screams of fright ! I will continue to look and see what type of frightening words, that you may have collaborated together. I hope the listeners out there have listened to this in the darkness over room " BUT COMPLETELY. " "" ALONE "" Goodnight for now and I hope you Slept Well ?
@@ClassicGhostThat is a Great Idea!! Real Fairy Takes are Quite Scary and Nothing like the Hollywood Tinkerbell!! Yikes 😬 The Scream!!😮 Thank you very much again!! Andréa and Jasper. ...XxX...
As a child, vampires were the scariest to me, for two reasons: they invade your home, and you could become a vampire yourself! After watching Dracula, I was afraid to sleep with the window open.
@@ClassicGhost yeah, for sure! It was the first one in the story and I was not expecting it at all. My pipe fell into my lap as I jumped out of my skin. At the time I felt like that emoji best described my shock.
Some of these stories do have comments off. I wish it wasn't that way. I also don't like you tube policy that puts videos in "mixes". You can never comment again once they do that.
It's takes a lot to spook me nowadays, but this was truly creepy. Loved it! Beautifully written and presented. Thank you.

Very pleased you liked it
Very, very well written, and excellently read with great atmosphere. Thank you.
And on a side note- besides the great story, the audio effects on this one are really perfectly done! Just loud enough to add to the narrative, with a few louder exceptions of course....which were very effective lol.
Yes!
I took your advice
Thank you for reading for us ❤
Excellent tale written in a classic style. Your narration is as compelling as it is enjoyable.
Also, it cured my hiccups!
@@michaelgreaves2375 lol
Beware the dark clad stranger...
Absolutely adore the historical and linguistic context in this tale, it gives it a real meaty sense of place!
I am very interested in your comment. One of my lost passions is the old Cumbric language.
I LIKE the sound effects! And the picture is gorgeous. THANKS for this!!
I am cumbrian, we live in a wild and scary land
Yis, aye ;) You'll have to come and see us when we get back to our Eerie Cumbria live events.
I’ve really enjoyed your podcasts. I’ve subscribed to your Podcasts on Spotify. Thank you so much. You are making the difficult time for those alone to tolerate the isolation.
A chilling tale... though title does give it away. "The Dalston Visitor" maybe?
That is actually a great idea!
I agree, I probably would have suspected it was a ghost until the denouement. Maybe The Dalston Guest after the short story by Mr Stoker? Anyway, great writing Tony and beautifully narrated. 👏
YOU MUST LISTEN
TO THIS
( Alone )
AND
(( in. the ))
(( pitch black of ))
(( DARKNESS ))
then you will jump
as she a Screams
as. I. did
---------------------------
Now, to the narrator and to the person that uploaded this thank you I.
enjoyed the jump out of bed at 4 a.m. see you in the next story
Tony, this was marvelous. I haven't been so freaked since I was a kid! Agree about not having "Vampire" in the title. Terrifying.
An old couple and one maid living in that big house alone is creepy enough
Fantastic tale
Nice of you to say so
Brillant. You enhance the story with your voice, presentation; with perfect voice intonation, great sound-effects, and a Vampire accent which would deceive any respectable Vampire into being convinced you are one of their own. Thank you. Please continue doing a fantastic job.Much appreciated!!!!
I'm only a few minutes in and already happy.
I love this style, thank you for sharing your own work!!
Man, the SOUND EFFECTS. The narration! The TENSION. Excellent as always, Mr Walker, this is fantastic!!! That first scream genuinely made me jump.
*evil laugh*
That was great! And being read by Tony Walker was an added bonus.
You mean this isn't Tony Walker's channel? Whose TW? 😩😶
Brilliant story - really eerie sound effects - the screams were chilling and the narration perfect 👍
Very atmospheric! Thank you.
Good job reading! Thank you.
Great story, thanks.
Wow! This is so good! A really creepy story. Thank you!
Fantastic Writing and Superbly Narration!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫💞
Namasté 🙏🕊️🕊️
Andréa and Jasper. . ..XxX...
Old fashioned creepy! I enjoyed very much. Excellent narrator. Thank you for posting
Well written and narrated and actually gave me a wee shiver which is rare.
Well done.....congrats on bringing back the old horror story.....once again...well done

I really appreciate that Donald
I really loved the sound effects on this one!
Ditto: Love the sound-effects!!!!!!! SCREAM!!!!!
Excellent. Writing, presentation, everything about this is first class.
Wow, thank you! Much appreciated.

Oh yeah! Now that’s the stuff! I love gothic horror stories,especially vampire stories
I only now realised it's your own story - it's so good, like one of the classics; thank you for sharing it 👍
I love these short stories. Super creepy and just right.
If you haven't picked up one of Tony's books, you have to do that; great stories!
A very fine vampire tale, very much in the classic gothic vein whilst being highly original - exceptionally well written and very effectively read. A tale worthy to join the canon of great English vampire stories.
Do you mind if I use this comment as a review? And thank you :)
Yes, of course.

Listened again tonight. Such an eerie tale! A wonderful and original story. Great work.
I nearly jumped out of my skin at Lady Dalston’s first scream. 😱
Sad to say that’s what I wanted . I am evil
I really enjoyed this one! An excellent story, well told. I would love to hear more about its creation.
Here's something I wrote about Dalston Hall ages ago www.ghostpod.org/2021/11/02/elementor-17015/
So scary, loved this one.
Great chilling descriptions.....more please Tony
Thank you! Will do!
Liked that...spooky...thank you.
I loved it .
Very very kind
Excellent writing and production!
Thank you!!!
Unusual, unsettling story.♥️
Omg brilliant thanks

Loved this one ... thank you .
What a amazing story the history in was fantastic thank you very much
That was amazing. Such a unique setup and setting. Such wonderful and vividly described details.
Thank you for this.
Just listened to hillgate one by you liked it so here I am hopefully going to the third one you were talking about next
Oh my, this channel was just suggested on my feed . I am on my 3rd vampire story, subscribed to the channel and feel a weekend binge coming on. You tell a wicked good story. Thank you.
Glad to have captured you... Seriously, great to have you here.
This one got me! HAHA! The first scream made me jump.

I recently did Dracula and he is out and about in the day. But everyone s vampires obey different rules. At least he doesn’t twinkle
@@ClassicGhost it irritated me so much that Twilight caused so much damage to the Gothic & Mystic characteristics of Dracula. It reduced it to teeny-bopper-braindead romance with very outdated ideas of love & worth of woman's life.
@@poem1693 I feel the same Poe. I hated those sparkly vampires
Liked it, good job😆
As a HUGE Orson Welles fan, I'm rarely impressed by other radio shows/ narrations. However, your work is phenomenal. Great job.
Orson was the master! But thank you.
Wonderfully creepy! I love a good vampire story. Great, as always, Sir!
Thank you!
The raider would get in after the door was locked, especially if he is already inside those doors. Ooh.
That was a lot of fun.
Excellent work,thank you!
Great story Tony
Thanks for listening

Very cool story. Really good setting and atmosphere.

I only recently found it, but consider me your fan 🧡💜❤️
And please, keep doing the good job 🙂
I am glad you are a fan. Keep listening. Spread the word!
@@ClassicGhost Of course I will 😊
Especially enjoyed your smokey reading seductive creepy tone. Thank you
Thanks for listening
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this tale!
ditto, ditto, ditto! Thank you!
THAT WAS FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you very much ❤️
ditto this time around. Masterful! Thank you!
You must listen to this completely alone
And you must listen to this in the darkest of dark you can get a room.
And the very first time you listen to it you will jump as I did when she screams.
Now to the individual that uploaded this :
Thank you I enjoyed the startle at 4 a.m.
I love horror
And I could never get enough of it
Once again thank you
Must've missed this one Tony! Great stuff
I very much enjoyed this story as well.
Of course you have to invite them in, predictable but good
That was scary! And very well read!
This is my second or third time listening to this particular story. I can't express to you how much I love these old vampire stories it's a Pity that it was not longer.
Well I just wanted to tell you of how much I enjoyed it once again.
I Wonder if you have any more early early centuries horror stories like this ?
I love to hear the passionate screams of fright !
I will continue to look
and see what type of
frightening words,
that you may have collaborated together.
I hope the listeners out there have listened to this in the darkness over room
" BUT COMPLETELY. "
"" ALONE ""
Goodnight for now
and I hope you
Slept Well ?
I have been having mixed sleep today, Eddie. Did you hear my Fall of the House of Usher by Poe?
Excellent. Very good. Thank you.
Brilliant
Tyvm
That was fantastic
Thank you !!
Thank you so much 🌳🦇
You are so welcome
nicely done
The comments appear to be turned off for The Old Nurses' Story" but I'd like to say thankyou, anyway.
That was mysterious. I've turned them on now
Oh, my! Hahahaa! Very good! Thank you!
Great story
Yet so much for this one being in my sleep story rotation.
That first scream made me jolt up right, choking on my own spit hahaha
I’ve got sleep stories!
I am thinking of doing a fairytale channel
@@ClassicGhostThat is a Great Idea!! Real Fairy Takes are Quite Scary and Nothing like the Hollywood Tinkerbell!!
Yikes 😬 The Scream!!😮
Thank you very much again!!
Andréa and Jasper. ...XxX...
Excellent! Thanks!
Hmm... no good deed goes unpunished. Saw some pele towers when I walked Hadrian's wall.
Yes they’re still there !
Wow awesome
That women screaming is unnerving as fuck great job.
❤the
Narrator!
As a child, vampires were the scariest to me, for two reasons: they invade your home, and you could become a vampire yourself! After watching Dracula, I was afraid to sleep with the window open.
I remember watching a programme that said vampires were real. I couldn't sleep afterwards for days
@@ClassicGhost Ironically, these scary stories are much less scary than the daily news in 2021. Listening to audio books has replaced tv for me.
Crate story Tony!❤
That scream got me!😰
I hope that’s good
@@ClassicGhost yeah, for sure! It was the first one in the story and I was not expecting it at all. My pipe fell into my lap as I jumped out of my skin.
At the time I felt like that emoji best described my shock.
I really enjoyed this one. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Some of these stories do have comments off. I wish it wasn't that way. I also don't like you tube policy that puts videos in "mixes". You can never comment again once they do that.
Good job! 👍🏻👻
Thanks for the visit
Yikes! 😳
Scary? (Runs away)
