E.F. Benson and Tony Walker! A perfect combination! 👌

You got that story out of the locked drawer today , DIDN'T YOU ?? 💀🎱💀

I love EF Benson...almost as much as Tony Walker 😉❤

Excellent narration of a classic tale as always! One of the things that always makes me smile when I read Edwardian ghost stories is that there seemed to be a bit of a trend where they just chop the denoument part clean off, quite abruptly, especially if they're using a framing device like this one... "wait, is that all?" "yup." THE END. Cracks me up every time.

This story always reminds me of Daphne du Maurice’s “House on the Strand”

I tried to get into the locked drawer yesterday

Excellent reading. EF Benson wrote the deepest ghost stories.

Agree, it is a wyrd tale ... luv the closing music 👍👍👍👍👍🎄

Another superbly narrated tale, Tony! Safe passage on the way to Amsterdam. Have a grand time! And much appreciation as always.

Love the creepy laughing kiddies (or pixies) @ the end.

You are masterful in your presentation,you can certainly tell a tale the way it should be told.Thank you for your hard work!

Once you start reading, I start to relax, honestly you could read the phonebook and I’d be quite happy! You choose your stories well! Don’t get too stoned in Amsterdam!!! Or do depending on your preference! LOL!

I always thought this to be one of the creepiest stories. Really chilling. Excellent narration!

Great story, excellent narration!

Very interesting.Thanks tony.

An inspired choice selection of story. And equal expert narration. You, my friend, are the true gift that keeps on giving... Cheers!

Great job you’re doing. Not only your narration, but your selections to add to your catalogue. I know a lot of them are requests, but it’s your taste that determines the ones you go with.

A creepy story, wonderful narration as always!

Excellent----was wrapping gifts while listening! thank you Tony!

Very nice. All I needed was a hot drink in my hand.

Great opening graphic on this one

I know this will be excellent 👍

Thanks dear Tony 🎉🌳

The fin de siecle period seems to have produced a number of stories like this. Grant Allen's 1892 tale "Pallinghurst Barrow" and Buchan's "No Man's Land" (1902) both feature, as this story does, horrific encounters with remnants of ancient peoples of the British Isles. The same period brought Kipling's whimsical Puck of Pook's Hill (1906), less terrifying and softened into a series of tales of British history. I wonder whether the social quality of that time, so smooth on the surface and so unsettled beneath, produced a kind of psychic unease in which the suggestion of violent survivals of long-ago savagery struck a chord. As if to put the cherry on the top there came in 1904 Sabine Baring-Gould's humorous "H.P.", in which an archaeologist digging in France has a conversation with an eight-thousand-year-old cave dweller about how times have changed since H.P.'s (Homo Praehistoricus) day. When a subject is handled variously with humor and terror, you know it stirs some concern in the backs or fronts of people's minds.

Excellent! Your reading and voice are wonderful.

This was intensely creepy for me. So loving it

Well told. Thank you.

Eerie story. Deja vu vision before the actual event happened. And yet the impact was so intense. At least an opportunity to liberate himself from the shackles that was holding him back.

29:00 Ey, you're going to visit my country. I hope you have fun!

I JUST read this story! Such a great Christmas spook.

I hope, and i pray, i hope this happens to every single hunter in the world!

Gripping, enchanting 2x around.. this time able to give thumbs up although my pc sound is worse quality than my tv.

Did the ghillie get back safely? He obviously knew there was danger, and I'm worried about him.

Yes I also like EF Benson's tales I liked his story of the underground tube station or train! Have you ever heard of a really good ghostly tale called The Haunted Railway Station Written by Arnold Ridley, who was the really old genteel character in Dads Army! ( the old Home Front Soldier with bladder problems) Gosh ive forgotten his name just this minute! I'll probably wake up at 3:30am & remember it when its too late! Ah well, i do like your t-shirts & tops! I always wanted to get long black t shirt with the quotation: " Non Omni Moria"! Or words similar which translated mean: Not All of Me Will Die! I like that & hope to bare this legend in the correct latin of course, emblazoned across my gravestone! Failing that i guess I'd be as happy to go with: Nolens Volens Which is the Latin for Willy Nilly Hmmm 🤔 i wonder if you could combine the 2 latin quotations So it means Not all of me will die in a willy nilly fashion.! As i was never a student of latin yet im strangly draw to Latin quotes but have no idea of latin grammar So cant say for defo if Non Omni Moria Nolens Volens Would be correct Ah well! Thank you for your smashin stories, Bonny Lad Cheerio for the mo 😉🙋‍♀️

Very odd story

Have a great holiday Tony. Happy Christmas to you and your family and All the Best, continued success in 2022. Thanks for another wonderful year of escapist literature. Namaste

Suteke da ne. Perfecto.
