    After many years of experiencing a strange and recurring dream, of an unseen, unidentified terror lurking in a room at the top of a mysterious house, our narrator is disturbed to find that his nightmare appears to be crossing over into real life... Story begins at 00:01:20

    Simon is the best narrator of Victorian and early 20th century stories.
    Absolutely a gem of the internet and a talent I’m so grateful to have encountered.

    Yikes! As someone who is a dreamer and I have a certain house that I revisit sometimes, this was especially terrifying!

    I want to thank you for your exceptional readings of these stories. Some of these are my favorite ghost stories and you have done a wonderful job of bringing them to life. Your narrations are prefect for those stay-at-home rainy days and lazy Friday nights after a long work week. Perfect.

    Wow! Thank you for my first scary EFB story, so powerfully narrated! What would Queen Lucia & co. say? But I'd like to know more about the Stone family, and how the Clinton family came to succeed them, with 'effects' inherited or retained.

    • @BitesizedAudio
      @BitesizedAudio  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      An interesting question! I seem to remember in the story the narrator says that the Clintons had "taken the house for the summer", or something along those lines, which suggests they have it as a short term let, presumably as tenants of the Stone family (since their family portraits etc are all still in the house).

      ​@@BitesizedAudioThank you!: checking I see that I seem to have gotten almost as sleepy as our narrator on his ride there, but sooner than he did, and missed his saying he "went down to stay with a friend in a house he had taken for the summer months".

    How long did it take to make your voice sound like that? You sound a bit like Simon Jones...

      Not his best I agree. A bit hokey at the end.
