  • A coalminer becomes obsessed by something he thinks he's heard down a dark, deserted gallery deep in a coalmine. He persuades his friend to come with him to find out what it is. The friend goes against his better judgement but says that he'll give him only so much time, then they're going back to the surface. If they can.

    People who need trigger warnings for creepy stories probably shouldn't listen to creepy stories.

    I am so glad you don’t censor your stories from different times and places. How else can we learn the histories and cultures different from our own.

    I personally like when you speak before and after the stories. The topics discussed are related to the story or authors. I see nothing annoying with this.

    I love the conversational tone at the end. Your grandad sounds fantastic.

    Well that was creepy. The last place I'd ever venture- a coal mine.

    Gosh I agree with you so much. No censorship, no trigger warnings (they're just spoilers). I better not say more but thank you so much, Tony, not just for sharing your tremendous talent with us, but for being normal.

    My mother's father quit the Staffordshire coal-fields about as soon as he could - in 1919 aged 19 - immigrated to Canada. He'd little nostalgia for the Old Country, and no wonder.

    Enjoyed this one when I read it in 'Cumbrian Ghost Stories' and enjoyed it again with this reading. Classic ghost story!

    I really enjoyed this story. Picturing the mines and the smells and the darkness made me feel utterly desperate for the characters to get out of the mines. Heck, never to go back for such an insane purpose. My patience would have been measured by how long my light lasted before even coming close to being extinguished.

    Another nice, dark story. Your family history is fascinating in itself. Thanks for sharing.

    As a West Cumbrian I really enjoyed this. Especially Tony's ramblings.

    It can be distressing when one realizes an author one admired once was not actually full of admirable ideas - H.P. Lovecraft springs to mind. Thank you for the reminder that we can view these writings as a kind of history of the society of the time. I find your tales smooth & gentle, in their way. Frightening/scary/thought provoking but not violent. It's one of the characteristics of your style I enjoy. Also love the lore & the after words, Tony.

    Great story, Tony! The closing line took me by surprise, and sent a slight

    I have read ghost stories since I was a kid. Some you narrate are new to me some are old friends but I really enjoy listening to your excellent voice. I love your enlightening and warming 'chats' after the stories. You are just great 🙂

    I liked this one. Given that the husband had lost his mind and believed he’d see his wife against all reason, and the sound was like silk rustling perhaps it was a form of ancient siren?
