It got quite chilling near the midpoint and didn’t let up til the end. Wonderful how the author took the common trope of daylight being a safer time (with the protagonist even voicing such a thought) and then turned it on its head with the sudden appearance of the woman and the bird. The terror, the uncanny, the palpable tension in the air; all sublime.

One of the things I do is voice over work for a living. Have a deep baritone voice and everyone loves it but let me tell you, if you don't know as a voice actor how much hard work it takes to deliver the message that he delivers, he is amazing.

Loved it. My room actually feels colder and damper just listening to this story. Well done! Spoilers below: This is a rendition of the fairy tree myth in Ireland. It's considered bad luck to cut one down or in any way disturb the tree. And there's another myth at play here, but I'll leave that one for your listening.

Thanks for sharing about the fairy tree myth of Ireland. I guess we have a somewhat similar mythical belief in my home-country, the Philippines in which it is said that the engkanto and elementals love to inhabit cool trees such as the balete (genus Ficus) and sour fruit-bearing trees. We used to have a santol (Sandoricum koetjape) at home which according to the diviner was the home of an evil mythical being.

We're going to look for the said tree in the very deep faunas of Western Mindanao, As avid fans of supernatural. This mythology youre talking about will surely add a little spice to our search. Not to mention each of us will have to split up in a forest with only our basic outdoor training.

I was listening to a story from this channel before falling asleep the other day and now I can't find the same story again so I can continue where I left off. Maybe someone here can help me. It's a story where the main character is warned to keep his cross with him and that evil will try to trick him into dropping it. He then has some encounters in which beings try in different ways to fool him into letting go of his cross.
