An amazingly wonderful story and storyline... The male reader has a friendly and clear voice

I love the way Jackson combined the ordinary and everyday with the eerie

Really good, thanks!

Deliciously horrific. Jackson is so adept at building atmosphere. I love her portrayals of small town creepiness.

Thanks for this, I'm really enjoying a binge on Ms Jackson. This may sound odd but in a cryptic way, this story reminds me so much of Beetlejuice. As if the two protagonists were drowned in that very creek on their way to the same house, and the city people who came were forced out for the ghosts who were *local*, and fitted in. 🕸👻👻🦇🕷👹

Absolutely love your voice Windy, in moments of stress I imagine you saying ‘It’s alright now! It’ll be quite ok’ and I feel a lot better! Truly wonderful narration 👍💕👻

Shirley Jackson was a genius! ❤

I love Shirley Jackson stories. Thank you for your work.

The narrative is so pleasant and friendly which makes everything so much scarier....

Very suspenseful and compelling. Simplistic in its plot affective. No gore or bad language. The story was very well read

Wonderful reading and thank you for finding this story

I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you! I listen to you everyday, adore the intro 🤩

Listen to the locals..they know what they're talking about. Thank you 💀

What a creepy little story. Ethel is a real push over. God, she is so cringing in her desire to belong . And so blind to the hints being given. Such a simple story but with so much foreboding.

"The local ghost" isn't just local color - it's a serious matter.

In The Haunting of Hill House, the evil house was owned by the Sandersons. ???

Superb ! Many thanks - Everybody has known Ethyl Sloan . Many thanks 🐾🎃💛

This story has a Light some of Gas😏😏🤔

Thank you

Possible spoiler warning: So...what I got from the story is that Ethel and her husband were the parents of the child that had died. Maybe the old woman was a nanny or maybe even the grandmother and Ethel had driven them in her car over the bridge. She lost control of the car and the car went under water, drowning the child and the old woman. Ethel escaped. Her husband and the townspeople don't like to talk about it because Ethel had some sort of nervous breakdown and that traumatic event was kept in the recesses of her mind. What do you guys think?

The ghosts were real, or the whole story is a methapor about learning how to cope with changing environtments?

Looks like a main, two-way highway right outside their front door. Dangerous for their cats or their dog to cross the street. Somebody better slow down (& it needs to be enforced).

She was so annoying almost wished she got her come uppance.

Wonderful. This story makes me want to do a poo in my pants. And when I say 'want', I mean I literally want to do one... Nothing can stop me, nothing whatsoever, except stopping reading the story abruptly. But even then, I still want to do a poo, and just as soon as the reading starts back up, Lo and behold, I end up wanting to do one even more intensely. Now, all I need to do is actually follow through with my desire regardless of the consequences and do that poo I've been wanting to do throughout this story. Many thanks indeed... 👍

Love the stories and thanks for narrating. Sorry if this appears rude I don't like your voice though and it spoils it for me Lol.

Some constructive criticism- You sound like you're reading a children's book and it's killing any creepyness of the story.
