It`s that time of year to gather around the fireplace on a cold winter night to listen to some dark ghost stories that are sure to chill and hopefully thrill.
These stories are written and narrated by Chris Halton, who has enjoyed a lifetime investigating and writing about the paranormal. Some stories are based on actual historical and personal events.
So sit back with a glass of wine into the late hours and listen to the seven stories presented that run in total for just over three hours.
0:41 The Ghost of William Corder`s Skull
Following the murder of his lover, Maria Marten, in 1827, Corder was found guilty and executed, with his body being dissected and his skeleton used at a local hospital for training nurses. His skull was subsequently stolen and, in the story, buried in a metal case in an unmarked grave at a churchyard after its thief suffers terrible misfortune. A gravedigger found the skull and sold it to a wealthy local collector who later suffered the consequences of his possession when Corder came back from the grave to reclaim it.
30:15 The Changeling
A demonic Irish Wolfhound and a tale of two lovers are entwined in this original story when a local auctioneer is tasked to dispose of a country estate with tragic and deadly consequences.
1:06:31 Bishop Bonner`s Treasure House
A dealer in antiquities and objets d`art is sent on approval an old photograph of a medieval warrener`s house entitled `Bishop Bonner`s Treasure House, Norfolk`.
Some context: Bishop `bloody` Bonner was notorious for his role in the persecution of heretics under the Catholic government of Mary I of England. He was later executed for murder by Queen Elizabeth. It was believed that Bonner had acquired great wealth, which he later buried.
In this story (apologies to M.R.James - shades of the mezzotint), an animated figure is seen to emerge in the photo carrying what the buyer believes is the treasure and seeks out its location through research, which draws him ultimately to his fate when he finally rediscovers this lost wealth and the presence of Bonner himself. But, like all good stories, this tale has a twist.
1:42:09 The Clock of St Germain
After the fall of Berlin in 1945, the Russians acquired an apparently odd-looking clock found hidden in a bunker, which they traded with a British army officer. The clock was believed to have mystical properties and was once owned by the mercurial Count of St Germain. Suffice it to say, it eventually ends up in the hands of a wealthy collector who attempts to unravel its guarded secrets, which releases an evil that threatens the owner and the continuum of time itself.
2:16:57 The Wellstead Incident
A wealthy married woman living in a remote country estate is visited late each evening by a mystery caller who is gone when the door is answered. She later engages a retired police officer to catch the mystery visitor while her husband is on business in Europe. The caller is later found, and an answer to life beyond the grave.
2:35:01 The Surge
An engineer is called away from home to attend an industrial facility located deep in the Suffolk countryside on a very wild and stormy night. During his journey, he loses his way and eventually finds refuge at an old-fashioned coastal Inn, where the occupants are not quite what they seem.
2:51:31 The Ghost Hunt
A friend invites an open-minded sceptic to a paranormal investigation where he will finally convince him of the existence of ghosts. He agrees, and they meet at an old ruined manor house, but nothing seemingly happened, or did it?
Assisting in the voice acting of some characterisations are Gerry Hughes, a former BBC radio voice artist; Ursula Bielski from the USA, who is a well-known, respected investigator and writer who has appeared on American networks regarding her work and research; and finally, my own wife Oana who has provided an authentic accent for The Clock of St Germain.
These stories are a compilation of some stories presented previously.
