The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 мар 2021
- Ambrose Bierce was a famous American writer of the 19th Century who penned a whole load of macabre and mysterious short stories. This one is very clever, I think, because of its multiple viewpoints: three, and even cleverer because there is a missing viewpoint which would, if it were included have revealed the whole mystery. A ghost story set on a Moonlit Road.

Thank you for all your hard work. I am old and ill and your stories give me so much.
I am very happy to do this. I just love reading people stories
Bless your heart ❤️🤍💜🤗Cat Earth🌸🌺🌼
Take care ❤️❤️
Take care love from Ireland 🇮🇪 💐❤️🙏
Thank you!! Always appreciate and enjoy your prologues and after overviews..
What an amazing narration!!! Thank you, Tony! Incredible!
My pleasure!
I have always had a fondness for the mystery of his disappearence. I studied his writing in my literature class. It's a terrifying story.
Yes. Very unnerving
Beautifully written. Beautifully narrated. " Jealous and exacting devotion" the words that premise what to come. A perspective of events through the eyes of the three protagonists. The foreboding of the wife of what to come, her grisly death by her husband. The mystery of the lone figure climbing the stairs heard by the wife or running away in the forest seem by the husband. Who is this individual. A phantom of the man's jealous imagination or death comes knocking on the wife's door.
You did a great job with this. Bierce fought at Shiloh, TN; I live nearby. A truly horrific event: it must have colored his outlook on life. If anyone interested, his "What I saw at Shiloh", written years later, gives a chilling first hand account.
I’ve never read that. I will now
Shilih was a fierce battle. His writing on Shiloh is telling. His one about Chickamauga is good, as well.
Thank you so very much! Can't stand the News anymore.
These stories are lots better than the news.
Know exactly what you mean it's all just so bloody depressing full of people dying or covid etc it's horrible honestly Saying Hi from Bedford KAZ 🇬🇧😃
Amen…
Thank you!!
Great voice, my man...
This one really makes you think: not as easy as you think. Thanks
ditto this time around, Tony. LOVE the American accent!
VWD! Cheers fr (a few miles N of) Nashville! 🤗
The amazing master Bierce. Thanks!! -- Try some of his funny stories also, I bet they are a gas to read (and would certainly be lots of fun to hear you read!!). Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the idea!
I want your ghost stories only.
Great story. So sad, and humanly strange. Great job
Wonderfully read. Great voice actor.
Thank you from Oakland Ca
I really enjoy this!
Helps me get through a migraine while in the dark......very mysterious.....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ahhhh! Hello my comrade- not in arms but in a dark, quiet, room armed with ice packs, peppermint oils and the Wonderful Vocals of Mr T to calm our troubled heads.. I hope you’re having a better day today my friend and are listening to more of Tony’s stories without a Migraine than with one! Hugs!
Thanks again for your stories - have enjoyed all that I have listened to.
Thank you! I appreciate your review at the end. It was a fascinating story. I seem to remember some writer of the day wove Bierce’s disappearance into their own fiction.
He wrote some articles in his career about mysterious disappearances, and then he did!
Thank you.,. that was brilliant storytelling. Quite heartbreaking x
Adored this, thank you!
Thank you
IMHO, Bierce wrote some of the most unusual ghost stories. How I enjoy the English language! Thanks Tony, one I didn't know. Always love the narrators too. Another hit. I think the other "man" was a premonition of death, forgot how you worded it. THAT WAS YOU?! Impressed is an understatement! Namaste, Z.
That is a very interesting idea
Nope,
I really prefer your natural voice and accent
Your natural voice is amazing....just be you 💙
Excellent American accent! Great work.
Glad you think so!
Agree!
Thanks so enjoyable
Hey these are great. Awesome reading voice and how it’s capped off w writer’s bio and info about the story. Keep em up!
Here with Cancer and awaiting Immunotherapy Treatments tomorrow. I love your readings and choices of stories.
Cheers!!
All the best. I’ll be thinking about you
Your American is pure Middle West. Wow. (Wince) Impressive. Thank you for yet another chilling story which you deliver so well. As R.suggested in the comments, won't you read Faulkner's A Rose For Emily? Or perhaps William Saroyan's The Daring Young Man On the Flying Trapeze? Not exactly ghost stories, but chilly, haunting, just right for for your voice. Thank you. No luck with Patreon as yet. (Brexit, you know) But will keep trying.
I based myself on Garrison Keiler in this one .
I may read some Faulkner but I’ve got a long list now
This is a great story. Your narration is amazing. Your voice perfectly lends to the tale.
Thanks for recording this!
Thanks Donald for your unfailing support
Thank you for doing your best to honor our American author with a pretty convincing American accent.
Thanks . I try. Don’t always succeed :)
You have q very beautiful voice.
I am spent my young years in Tennessee.
You're accent in this narration sounds French to me.
There are so many colloquial accents in the U.S.
Tennessee o all gs on ing. And the vowels are elongated and heavy.
They also send sound through the nose more than the mouth. It sounds like bag pipes.
This was interesting. I enjoyed the narrative at the end.
:-) xxx Thankyou, Tony!
Ambrose Pierce..."Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge." Great spooky story. Twisted ending.
I just adore your intro to the podcasts!
Thanks. This was a good one again.
Fear has no brains. It is an idiot.
That got stuck. Love it.
Yes, I agree. Fear is stupid. But who was the other man...?
Your American accent sounds very authentic in this Tony 👌
Thanks! sometimes I’m hit and miss. I have given up doing it now though
I agree. I think it is good. I am trying to think of which part of the country it sounds like it is from.
@ClassicGhost I think it sounds great.
Probably one the most unusual and original premises I've ever heard ...
You're the best!
Just as masterful this time around,( 3: 30 AM) American accent simply marv--Thank you, Tony Walker
Enjoyed this so much. Nice reading with a faint accent that is tantalizing. Can’t quite place it’s origin.
Mmmm my oh myyyyy! Mr Dulcet Tonesy Walker! You Golden Voiced Devil, You! The only person I can have in my head when I’m having a type Migraine I’m told is higher on the Pain Scale than Childbirth!😵💫 The distraction you provide while my head… gives birth..(?) is purrrrrfect! Thanks!🥰

Ambrose came to the town where I live. He wrote the story if a mans disappearance out in his field in the middle of the day in front of four people. The town's people cone and walk shoulder to shoulder through the field looking for the farmer and geologists came to look into whether or not there could have been a cavern he fell through but nothing was ever found of the man. His wife became despondent because fir two weeks afterwards, she could hear him calling out for help before it became fainter and fainter then stopped.
When Ambrose arrived as a reporter on the job, he wrote up the disappearance then later made it into ine of his stories and he changed the name of the city and people's names.
But... that field where all that happened here in Alabama is only about five miles from where I live and in that spot is a very strange set up of some kind because if you go to the dead end of that road you are met with guards pointing something at you and told you need to leave...
You do a good Job reading with an American accent. Would love to hear you read A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner. Not a ghost story, but spine-chilling all the same. Poe would be good, too. I think I joined your Patreon page, at least I tried.
Nice suggestion! I’ll put it on my list
Yes, accent is spot on, maybe not a native Tennessean but a “yank” for sure. 😀 Very rare in my vast listening experience.
Your voice seems to me like Orson Welles . Interesting tale.
That is a great compliment. He had one of the best voices of all time
Thanks!
Thank you very much.
Well that broke my heart.
Your wonderfully good for story telling 🖤
Thank you Jerri
Cool story. Kind of a precursor to Kurasawa's "Rashomon".
Pretty decent Southern accent (says one from Charleston, S. Carolina :)
Owl Creek Bridge ... I'll never forget that story. I always pronounce Bierce like ... Brice...😒😒😒
You may be correct
@@ClassicGhost I don't think so; I've only heard it pronounced your way; just can't remember it!😊😊😊
@@mijiyoon5575 it rhymes with Pierce
@@ludovica8221 Thank You
Ooh, this grabbed me. I quickly went to hit like button, only to see the dislike button lit up. That was an accidental event.
LIKE, LIKE, LIKE!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you did
Like it
You do a great American Southern accent.
How sad.
Jealousy. She wears shrouds and boots and fierce colours not discernible in moonlight. She elongates hearts into roadways and dark forests, and stretches those that they might break, but they never do, do they? They kill and savage, but never break. Or is Jealousy a She? Doubtful. Unimaginative men wear shrouds and boots and hold the scarlet handkerchief like Othello, and isn’t Jealousy a simpleton, even when proven out in circumstance?🧐
🌕🌕🌕
Tony you do a great American accent but if this story is set in Tennessee you have to work on a southern accent. Listen to Georgia governor Kemp. Only try not to sound so good ole boy evil. Just a suggestion. I love your stories.
Not keen on the voice!
Beautifully written. Beautifully narrated. " Jealous and exacting devotion" the words that premise what to come. A perspective of events through the eyes of the three protagonists. The foreboding of the wife of what to come, her grisly death by her husband. The mystery of the lone figure climbing the stairs heard by the wife or running away in the forest seem by the husband. Who is this individual. A phantom of the man's jealous imagination or death comes knocking on the wife's door.
