    The first of a season of "festive" frighteners. Hope you enjoy. If you do, spare a thought for the narrator and throw him a LIKE and a COMMENT...

    Firstly, the piano outro is beautiful. I left a like and comment on the artist's channel.❤
    Now. Hugh Walpole is genius. He truly is master of capturing the finest intricacies and complexities of the human psyche. That could have been me in this story.
    Do men feel and behave like this? I have seriously always believed it a 'woman thing'.
    Beautiful story, beautiful production. Thank you 💕

    This is Excellent! All credit to Walpole, I believe you could narrate the alphabet in such a creepy and menacing way that children and innocents would tremble and cry uncontrollably.

    It's gone midnight where I am. The winter wind is howling around outside and helping to get ne in the mood for a proper, traditional December full of ghost stories. And this year it will all be leading tp to the Encrpted special on Christmas Eve. It doesn't get much better than this.

      It seems to be an untapped market! We have all kinds of people who are Ghostbusters now ( or at least ghost identifiers; they show up and after putting them up, paying expenses and feeding them, they say, Yup! You've got ghosts!)
      What we need is something like Rent a Ghost; a rather obstreperous, intimidating poltergeist with an attitude you can book to send to the house of that nasty manager you have, or those obnoxious neighbors next door. Wouldn't that be great?
      Even if it wasn't actually a real spirit; if you can sneak bugs and cameras into people's houses, perhaps some kind of hologram technology. OK, all you techie people out there! Someone needs to get on this idea!
