E.F. Benson and Tony Walker! A perfect combination! 👌
Ditto 2 yrs. later! You're the best, Tony.
You got that story out of the locked drawer today , DIDN'T YOU ??
💀🎱💀
I have a locked drawer where I keep the best stories.
I love EF Benson...almost as much as Tony Walker 😉❤
Excellent narration of a classic tale as always! One of the things that always makes me smile when I read Edwardian ghost stories is that there seemed to be a bit of a trend where they just chop the denoument part clean off, quite abruptly, especially if they're using a framing device like this one... "wait, is that all?" "yup." THE END. Cracks me up every time.
I often say that if the classic Victorians And Edwardianswere writing now many of them wouldn’t get published
@@ClassicGhost There's one way to test that hypothesis... have you considered a graf in your next ghost story which just says something like, "I would describe the monster, but it's simply too chilling; I don't want to scare you too much." haha
I agree completely. However instead of cracking me up, I find it unsatisfying and frustrating.
This story always reminds me of Daphne du Maurice’s “House on the Strand”
Agree, it is a wyrd tale ... luv the closing music 👍👍👍👍👍🎄
You are masterful in your presentation,you can certainly tell a tale the way it should be told.Thank you for your hard work!
I tried to get into the locked drawer yesterday
An inspired choice selection of story. And equal expert narration. You, my friend, are the true gift that keeps on giving... Cheers!
Thanks Terry.
Excellent reading.
EF Benson wrote the deepest ghost stories.
Another superbly narrated tale, Tony! Safe passage on the way to Amsterdam. Have a grand time! And much appreciation as always.
We had a good time. The boat inspired my story North Sea 3 a. m.
I always thought this to be one of the creepiest stories. Really chilling. Excellent narration!
Love the creepy laughing kiddies (or pixies) @ the end.
I'd like to say that was me, but it wasn't
Once you start reading, I start to relax, honestly you could read the phonebook and I’d be quite happy! You choose your stories well! Don’t get too stoned in Amsterdam!!! Or do depending on your preference! LOL!
Great story, excellent narration!
Very interesting.Thanks tony.
Great opening graphic on this one
A creepy story, wonderful narration as always!
Very nice. All I needed was a hot drink in my hand.
I am sure that can be arranged.
Excellent----was wrapping gifts while listening! thank you Tony!
Great job you’re doing. Not only your narration, but your selections to add to your catalogue. I know a lot of them are requests, but it’s your taste that determines the ones you go with.
I have a backlog of requests that gets interrupted by my own fancies. I need to catch up
I know this will be excellent 👍
I hope you like it
@@ClassicGhost most excellent- thank you
As expected- Again
Always appreciated
Thanks dear Tony 🎉🌳
The fin de siecle period seems to have produced a number of stories like this. Grant Allen's 1892 tale "Pallinghurst Barrow" and Buchan's "No Man's Land" (1902) both feature, as this story does, horrific encounters with remnants of ancient peoples of the British Isles. The same period brought Kipling's whimsical Puck of Pook's Hill (1906), less terrifying and softened into a series of tales of British history. I wonder whether the social quality of that time, so smooth on the surface and so unsettled beneath, produced a kind of psychic unease in which the suggestion of violent survivals of long-ago savagery struck a chord. As if to put the cherry on the top there came in 1904 Sabine Baring-Gould's humorous "H.P.", in which an archaeologist digging in France has a conversation with an eight-thousand-year-old cave dweller about how times have changed since H.P.'s (Homo Praehistoricus) day. When a subject is handled variously with humor and terror, you know it stirs some concern in the backs or fronts of people's minds.
Excellent comment. Do you teach this subject?
Excellent! Your reading and voice are wonderful.
Thank you Glo
This was intensely creepy for me. So loving it
Well told. Thank you.
Eerie story. Deja vu vision before the actual event happened. And yet the impact was so intense. At least an opportunity to liberate himself from the shackles that was holding him back.
+Sarah Samaria I love that you love these stories
I hope, and i pray, i hope this happens to every single hunter in the world!
Me too! …. But I did enjoy the story nonetheless!
29:00 Ey, you're going to visit my country. I hope you have fun!
Netherlands? We did. I had a big cake, not hash. I tried that when I was young and I got paranoid so I've avoided it since. This was chocolate. Which is a superfood apparently
@@ClassicGhost Yup, Netherlands indeed! Never had hash cake myself, but if you want to find things like that, Amsterdam is the perfect place XD
I JUST read this story! Such a great Christmas spook.
Gripping, enchanting 2x around.. this time able to give thumbs up although my pc sound is worse quality than my tv.
Did the ghillie get back safely? He obviously knew there was danger, and I'm worried about him.
He did, Katy. Don't worry. My uncle knows him and he said he was fine.
Yes I also like EF Benson's tales
I liked his story of the underground tube station or train!
Have you ever heard of a really good ghostly tale called
The Haunted Railway Station
Written by Arnold Ridley, who was the really old genteel character in Dads Army!
( the old Home Front Soldier with bladder problems)
Gosh ive forgotten his name just this minute! I'll probably wake up at 3:30am & remember it when its too late!
Ah well, i do like your t-shirts & tops!
I always wanted to get long black t shirt with the quotation:
" Non Omni Moria"!
Or words similar which translated mean:
Not All of Me Will Die!
I like that & hope to bare this legend in the correct latin of course, emblazoned across my gravestone!
Failing that i guess I'd be as happy to go with:
Nolens Volens
Which is the Latin for
Willy Nilly
Hmmm 🤔 i wonder if you could combine the 2 latin quotations
So it means
Not all of me will die in a willy nilly fashion.!
As i was never a student of latin yet im strangly draw to Latin quotes but have no idea of latin grammar
So cant say for defo if
Non Omni Moria Nolens Volens
Would be correct
Ah well! Thank you for your smashin stories, Bonny Lad
Cheerio for the mo
😉🙋♀️
Bizarrely someone sent me a tweet in Latin today. I got most of it. Not all. I remember Arnold Ridley (not personally). And of course I loved Dad's Army. Who didn't
@@ClassicGhost thanks for yr reply 😁
Yes, veni vidi veci ( sorry Latinists for my appalling spelling)
I think latin quotes are superb !
I used to own a humongous book of quotations( by Readers Digest! Every household in the country had a R.D. book on the shelves circa 1960,70, 80, 90)
Which had every language conceivable's wise or witty quotation!
Actually i found the story by
Arnold Ridley, its called simply,
Ghost Train & its 1hr 25mins duration
Also i remembered Arnold was Private Godfrey
So i listened again this morning & it was even better than i remembered
I noticed one of the principle characters was played by a fellow actor although IN Dads Army & was the not often seen, but a Hooray Henry, posh, plummy voiced captain in HQ.
But more oft seen as the younger toff Captain in
It Aint 'alf Hot, Mum!
Well that actor is in Arnolds Ghost Train story & he plays the part of
A Hooray Henry, snobby Oik!
Har har, arf arf! Its such a wheeze & all that wizardy prang stuff
Defo worth listen! Great play & wonderful characters
Love your stories & enjoy your excellent narrations
Keep well & Best Yuletide Greetings
HQ
Very odd story
Have a great holiday Tony. Happy Christmas to you and your family and All the Best, continued success in 2022. Thanks for another wonderful year of escapist literature. Namaste
Suteke da ne. Perfecto.
