One of my favorites stories from Charles Dickens, well done Chris!

Great reading, Chris. Charles Dickens is always welcome. Thank you.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Apart from reading these excellent tales crafted by the wordsmiths from the golden age of ghost stories, I have had a lifetime of paranormal experiences - whether through my own investigations or personal experiences. I know many of you share that interest, and I appreciate that, for some, you have yet to experience any event or, at some point in your lives, you have had such a personal experience. It started when I was a child, leading me into adulthood to investigate and share further events caught on camera; I am fascinated by what humans cannot logically explain, especially a subject that defies the laws of known physics. To this end, I'm reaching out to you as a writer to collate your own accounts, which I would like to share via this channel as a collation of stories that I can read for the benefit of our listeners. I appreciate that some of you may be too shy or embarrassed to disclose these stories, and for that, I will share them, if you so wish, as anonymous accounts. On the other hand, you may be more than happy to share your names. And this also applies to locations, as I will only share this information if you prefer to. And please don`t worry if your writing skills are not up to standard. I can rewrite them for you and get your approval before any publication. Send your experiences or enquiries to: [email protected] Once I have enough material for at least 30 minutes, I will share them all as a reading. Chris

His name is pronounced lefnu

It's so annoying when his name is miss pronounced. It's lefnu

It sounds more like humor than horror which M.R. James is best known for, but it does have a nice light hearted nature to it.

This one, even though it's lesser known, is one of my favorites. So good.

I love owls. Thank you for the story, Chris.

That was a brief, but great story. Thank you, Chris.

I was surprised to find out that this short story is still subject to copyright. No offence was intended by its publication, and if required by the copyright holder, I will remove this video.

Very amusing indeed.😊

Wonderful story, Chris. Thank you.

Great story, Chris, Thank you.

Thankyou!

great

Thank you for another great story, Chris.

Another great story, Chris. Thank you.

Thank you 😊

Another one !So pleased 😀

Fantastic Chris, with fall moving in are we going to get more and more?

You really are spoiling us at the moment Chris!Thankyou for all your hard work for us .

….I couldn’t help wondering how many boys of the “Stanley Judkin” variety James had taught before penning this story….Excellent reading!

Fantastic reading Chris! This is a great story.

My bedtime listening as I struggle to sleep. This is my favourite James tale, ooh shiver 😳

In very much enjoyed the story. Another great reading, Chris. Thank you.

My favourite M R James story!Thanks so much Chris 👍

Great story, Chris. Thank you.

Thank You as always !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent tale Chris, thank you.

That story was creepy. Caused me goosebumps. Thank you, Chris. Wonderful story.

Good story. Much better that a story be told as written. To alter it in deference to any alleged superiority of current cultural norms is an unacceptable violation to the broader general reading public. Much better to not mention any potential spoiler in the title page/illustration.

Being watched by a stranger whose intentions are unknowable is very creepy. The only ghost I’ve ever seen had that same fixed blank stare.

That was dark story to be sure, but I enjoyed it. Another great story, Chris. Well done.

….Such a cruel story….( I’d appreciate a warning if animal or child abuse occurs in a story )

Great reading

A great M.R. James story. Thank you, Chris.

A wonderful favorite with a new narration. Well done! Thank You.

Nice tale and narration.

One of James's best, and I always think of this story when I visit Aldeburgh (Seaburgh here). Prescient too, as this was written in 1925, and he refers to Raedwald, whose existence was well known, but whose grave was later discovered in Sutton Hoo in 1939.

great

Thanks so much Chris!

Enjoying! Thank You, Chris

Complete

Thank you Chris for another great reading. <3

This was thoroughly enjoyable_Thanx!

Menacing vibes to this story. Great job, Chris, and thank you.

I like this story. I like the cute monkey in the thumbnail, but not for this story. It's supposed to be an evil demonic ape. Apes don't have tails, and they're much larger than monkeys. The monkey in the thumbnail is not a scary incorporeal ape, just a cute monkey with a tail. Anyway, this story is excellent.

This practically sounds like a “AI.” Trash!

Treachery! What a family. Thank you for a great story, Chris.❤️
