Fantastic narration and ambient sounds, thank you Jasper!

Oooh as a Roman Catholic, I obviously loved this one! Amen!!

What a wonderful story! Thank-you so very much for this one. Merry Christmas, Mr. L'Estrange.

Can't beat a bit of M R James. Beautifully read by my favourite teller of stories ❤

Perfectly ghastly as always. In a good way.

Thanks! Oh, I just loved this change of pace from typical “horror!” …..Excellent!

Not only did the narrator not smell a massive pile of decomposing bodies until his nose was thrust into them, but also waited politely, abstaining from having his injury treated until the story was over. What a silly story 😄 and not even politically correct, what with the villifying people with deformities😂

Your impersonation of the Professor is awesome!

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Thank you 😊

Really lovely reading of an old favourite of many of us, thank you!

I do enjoy M R James, and listening to your voice. Perfect 👌 Thank you 😊

Horrorbabble will always be my home for horror, but that doesn't mean I can't salute a good narration from elsewhere. Great timbre and cadence, nice use of sound snippets. I think I'll be back.

👍👍

No disrespect to previous narrative iv heard by some, but this is as usual another level. Yourself and Edward french are easily the best. However i think your sound and music adds that much more. Love the piano music you use. Keep on creeping on!

Beautifully read as ever.

great reading

What a charming fairy tale:))

I had thought that Hordern’s narration was the best, and then I listened to this. Superb reading by you.

Very well narrated as usual 😊

Love this one!

This is interesting, I lived next to Great Wakering in Essex for a number of years, which is recorded as being the driest place in England. Maybe the names have been changed to protect the innocent 🙂. An expat in Florida.

Oooooh Jasper!That was beautifully spooky.I especially loved that little line “wither he had gawn “thankyou x

You have the best horror story radio voice.

Hi Jasper - I have listened to other stories of yours which I liked very much :) But, this one - No. I find these kinds of stories very disturbing to my psyche and I wish there had been some sort of warning. I am still anxious because she couldn’t fight back and was helpless. Your characters were written beautifully, though. . . “Psycho” was different as the old woman had died naturally and the shower scene was done in such a way as to be just a scary bit, not real. But this was too real. Could you warn us in future, please. Thanks much :) Have a sunny day ☀️🌷🌱 Now, I have to find a good Wodehouse or a Muppets’ movie :)

Very good story and not depressing!! You read it so well. The voice you use for your readings is perfect for these kinds of stories. So glad I happened upon you in UT lists :) 🧖🏼‍♀️🥀🌷🌱

It’s funny how listening to one actor and then another read the same story, creates a different atmosphere a different reading. Yours is so different from my other reader person. Totally shiveringly enjoyed both stories. Thanks much :) 😮🧟‍♂️🌷🌱

One of my favourites, beautifully read as always.

Ohhh! 😮 This one gave me the shivers….in the most delightful way! 😁. ✨You are simply the best Jasper! ✨Thank you!!!🐙

Brilliant narration. I can 'go on' a bit about Monty James lol😂. Will just say - this is the best narration on YT of this one. Suitable faint praise 😂. Be warned this tale hits you over the back of the lug hole.

Thank you for this wonderful rendition of horror ✨️💀✨️

Nothing like an MR James tale narrated by Jasper 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh my, that gave me a lump in the throat. Thank you so much. Wonderful storytelling. Merry Christmas. Xx

Great job on the classic😊❤

Just like Carly Simon told James Bond, "Nobody does it better..."

Exceptional production quality! My gosh, Jasper absolutely nails it every time. I love the background sounds and his voice was made for reading horror. Even though poor, we're going to try donating/doing Patreon just because excellence at this level needs to be recognized and rewarded.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Luv the sound track you have worked on diligently for all of your listeners .. it is perfect👍👍👍👍👍

I recently watched the 50 short movie of this produced by the BBC as part of their anthology of Supernatural stories. It was the second instalment of “A Ghost Story for Xmas “ and was first aired on Xmas eve 1972. It’s worth a look in my opinion. I think I cast it up from KZbin to the telly from memory. A big thanks to Jasper the friendly ghost story teller who brings a stunning level of quality to his narrations. Simple the best.

Jasper L'Estrange really is just the best horror narrator out there. Fantastic as always.

Good one!❤❤❤

I've heard this story narrated before. No. Let me backup. I only THOUGHT I had heard this story narrated before. Nothing compares with what you bring to each and every story. You breathe life into them and give them dimension. The music and sounds of the tide at the end really added a poignant touch. Perfect! Thank you.

Great, I will endeavour to listen to it in one go without being lulled to sleep.

An old favourite, well done. Thank you. (And, it’s just down the coast from here 😀♥️)

"What we saw was the track of a bare foot------and one that showed more bone than flesh." One of Montague's all time great lines...in a classic that brings us the concept of "Dim Presences" and yet another cursed object... a curse that can not be undone. Well done Mr Jasper !

Thank you Jasper! This is one of my very favourite M R James stories, what a treat to find your rendition popping up on my notifications just in time for bed 😺
