The Clinton family is cursed, according to an old legend which describes a terrible fate awaiting each heir in the afterlife. Paranormal investigator John Bell returns in this ripping yarn involving secret tunnels, underground chambers and a door which apparently opens or closes according to an "infernal witchcraft"...

I think it's physiological fact that good narrators all have either fine taste in piano music or are accomplished pianists themselves. Strange... I'm unfortunately a mediocre pianist and a rotten narrator at best.

I’d love to see you on the Exploring the Cotswalds channel. You’d make a great guest story teller.😌 Your recordings have inspired to record my own for fun. I am doing it completely on the fly and improvised. Was just strolling the beach today, Whistle and I’ll come to you style and recorded a ghostly tale.

As a person who habitually falls asleep listening to audio books and has to revisit to eventually reach the end, imagine my horror to be uncharacteristically awake and waiting for the outcome... only to have my mobile run out of battery just at the point of 'we are buried alive!' Aaaargh! I am far less worried about the 'happy as they deserve' ending (which I think was a former days' more positive, yet honest, way of ending a story than saying the overused 'happy ever after' or 'they walked off into the sunset together') than I am by whoever devised this chamber of horrors and for what purpose? Well, the purpose is plain, I suppose, but to whom and why? Aaaargh! Aaaargh! Coffee coming up, Simon! Lol.
