🎧 Learn English with a short story.
🗣 Listen & repeat after me if you'd like to practise your pronunciation.
💬Learn some vocabulary in the second half of the video.
📄 I found this story in answer to a post on Quora.com asking about true scary stories.

Hi Luke. Please more videos with short stories and vocabulary explanations. On the one hand, you learn the formal language, on the other hand, you learn the everyday language when explaining vocabulary and you are so good at both!🤟🏻

Hello, Luke! Thank you for the story. I think it's a great and a sad story. The guy came to the wrong house. They were not his aunt and uncle, but they seemed to be happy to have a visitor. Maybe they were very old people, maybe they had Alzheimer's disease. And they really didn't want him to leave them.

Right. I agree with you guys, the risks were possible in that house. Luckily, he felt an urge to escape from there. Such was a good feeling. The old couple might have been dangerous or might not, but a potential risk was hidden somewhere in the house.

I couldn't help but being all the time mulling over The Mist, Psychosis... An invigorating shot in the arm for starting the week! Wish you a fruitful one!

I listened to this story twice: during the day and late in the evening. The time of day affects reception! In the evening, the story seems more terrifying. And your comment on this story, Luke, makes it even scarier when you suggest what might have been an ingredient in the dish, what might have been in the locked room. Such uncertainty and ambiguity stimulates our imagination and evokes greater fear than some obvious bloodthirsty monster.😮
