On our ‘17 visit to the West Country of England, we visited several ancient lay line markers , circular communal fields, & mammoth sized chambers for turning bodies to smoke & ash, for celebrating seasonal celestial changes, & for engaging earthly polarities for honoring, religious, invoking of the above God/doess below - having the luxury of locals sharing these ancient habits still evidenced. It stuck me how lovely & easily these non-tourist locations are capable of useful existence past, present, & future. Connection of the past, in the present to invoke/celebrate the turning into futures all over the world carries such ancient mysteries beyond our time space. Such a FANtastique story of ritualized spirituality! Love it. More moor musings...thanks!
I really liked this story. I love stories, especially scary or mysterious ones, set on the moors. The plot line and standing stones were awesome. I like the bit when the altar appears. Stuart Strauss is pretty darn good. Great job! Thanks, Ian!
These are my favorite kind of goth stories that involve the occult of pagans and uncanny things in the haunted groves of briton, lol the old way to say it☺ thanks for this treat Ian!!
Shadow people, in a story a century old? Slightly eerie, as stories of them pop up over the internet unprovoked everywhere. One wonders at how many stories of vampires, maras and phantoms are mirrored in the accounts. It makes me want to revisit that childhood house of mine and see if it still remains, and if it is as malevolent as back then.
Ricky Gervais.... I was trying my hardest to picture him chasing shadow ladies through the spooky moor, but he is just to goofy. Didn't fit for my mind. Still funny though.
particularly neat one. Had to run it back. This is a bad question possibly, but did the pre-druids actually practice human sacrifice? Thought it was a sex/ harvest/ re-birth type gathering. Not taking the proverbial piss... just a dumbish american. Peace, love, tollerance. Hope everyone has a fun/ safe halloween.
AFAIK, knowledge of the pre-Druidic Britons (e.g., the Beaker Culture) is archeological rather than anthropological. We know even less about their society than we do about the Celts, and that's precious little.
Be careful about statements of human sacrifice and sex cults, it is a recurring theme among christian depictions of other religions and cultures. They find it macabre and assume such things about those not of their own cult, never bothering to investigate the accuracy or actually talk to someone.
With no fault of the narrator, the tale itself was quite dull and uneventful. The likes one could expect told on a family sitcom when the cast is around the fire pit camping and the cliche scary story oneupsmanship begins and this being the first, most boring, most yawn inducing of them all and ends up being entirely outdone by the squeaky bark of the tiny rodent sized Pomeranian puppy off to the side gnawing on a bone entirely to large for it to be enjoying...
If you mean at the very beginning, that's a piece I put together to accompany the titles. The second piece, is a work called CRIMSON RED by a friend of ours, Glen Alexander: glenalexander2.bandcamp.com Thanks!

Enjoyed this a lot. Can't help not to be reminded as well of my visit to Stonehenge many moons ago.
Thank you so much. 🧡🎃🧡

Stuart Strauss is pretty darn good.
Great job! Thanks, Ian!
This is really a treat, every day a new story. And then we get to vote for certain stories as well....! great...!
Oh, I already liked this one! We’ll, here we go again!
STILL ONE OF THE BEST ❤THANK YOU

I think you would enjoy "Mythago Wood" by Robert Holdstock. My favourite book of all time.
@@madderhat5852 oh really???? I would luv to check it out, thanks so much!!
I'm really excited for this one!! Thank you very much!!
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim
Of darkness in the valley…
Sorry couldn't resist. Great story.
Ah Blink 182 😉
He should have holidayed in Brighton.

After the characters name was stated I could only picture Ricky.

@@Bbergsteri was picturing Ricky from Trailer Park Boys haha...
Damn this guy reads so well
WOW .. Another AWESOME show !! :-)
Curiosity killed the cat 🐈
Interesting, I enjoyed it.
🖤
I wonder if this tale deals with
- an elemental or with
- a genius loci or with
- a prehistoric phantom being? ))
I'd love to hear what you could do with Theodore Sturgeon's IT.
We'd had a few requests for Sturgeon, but unfortunately his work isn't in the public domain.
Scary-as-shit cool!!!☻🖤💀☠👻⚰🦇🕷🕸
If we choose the weird tale and are now listening, are we then weird? - just asking for a friend:)
I reckon we're all weird, Tiffany! Ian
@@HorrorBabble I reckon :)
Yes and in good company

Ha! It had its moments ... but this one was our least favourite Roulette outcome thus far.
Keep it coming , superb content 👍👍
What is the orchestral music at the beginning of these narrations? It fits the mood of your stories perfectly.. :-)
