Supernatural Stories for Sleep (ones you may not have heard before)

Digging into the archive to pull out nearly 9 hours of ghost and supernatural stories tailored to help you sleep. These aren't specifically sleep stories, or ASMR stories, but there are NO ADS between the stories. (There are intro ads from KZbin at the very start as normal)
There is NO MUSIC at all. No other sounds than the voice.
There is a BLACK SCREEN because people tell me that's useful
There is no conversation, no outro, no finish music, it just stops into silence just before 9 hours.
I hope it helps you sleep.

Thankyou so very, very much for the black screen and no ads. To us none sleepers it is pure bliss to know that we will not be disturbed by some mad advert just as we are sliding into sleep. ❤

This is like an emergency first aid kit. It will save me from stress, tedium, and a grumpy partner! Thanks Tony. Glad you gave up your day job. In a world of increasing flimsiness you bring us quality. 👻🌘🕯️🔮

Your voice is very calming. A real refuge from all the hyperactive neurotics that KZbin is full of. Thank you.

[@ClassicGhost]

Glad you think so! Some people play me at 1.5 speed they say...

[@shroomyk]

"Narrated in various dubious accents" got me 😂 I like your various northern and scots accents though. Thanks for these compilations.

Awesome. I wasn't really expecting to see so many I haven't heard before!

[@melaniehassler2405]

This is perfect for going back to work, thank you so much I'll just play this on a loop for the month to save my sanity 💜

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

Tony, I have to congratulate you for your Australian accent. As an Australian I have to say I’ve heard some truly appalling attempts, that have had me either laughing my head off or cringing with embarrassment, however yours sounds just like an everyday Aussie. Bloody brilliant mate!

[@ClassicGhost]

Wow, thanks That has made my day!

[@CPower-kc8gu]

Oh, the Reflex Man story left me almost crying. You read it so well and with your heart in your hand, as we say back home. I had to find a quiet place to hear the ending again. Tony, thank you for making me feel so bittersweet inside. ❤

Oh this is great thank you Tony. Early Christmas present. Hope you and the family are doing well. Make sure you have everything you need to ward off cold and flu Hot toddy fixings Great tea Some eucalyptus mint etc for hot baths. And whatever is your favorite cold and flu therapy. I love the historical herbal teas etc myself. Stick to them unless I need the big gun prescriptions for infections that laugh at herbs "not this time nurse Nightingale, thyme and garlic ain't going to do it" Luckily I haven't needed extra help in years. Stay warm and cozy Tony have a great Christmas season.

[@tammyb8742]

Thank you for another goldmine of dark fiction, Tony. We fans of the ghost story have never had it so good!

[@WhispersfromNightmare]

Listening to supernatural tales at night… brave or foolish? Either way, I’m hooked.

[@ClassicGhost]

I'm glad you are

[@MyDarlingThings]

Sweet dreams everyone

[@imh9524]

I've now listened to the Garside Fell Disaster at least 3 times, and on each subsequent listening I've thought I should move on to the next story, but then I'm captivated by the accents: you read this one so well Tony! (You read all the other ones well too, bien sûr 😉).

[@ClassicGhost]

ah that’s a fave of mine

[@TheRickie41]

Thank you, Tony. Will last a while, with all the Christmas preparations going on, I’m quickly off to dreamland...

Thrawn Janet is my favourite, even though I have to listen really hard to catch the drift of the story. Well done! Wait, The Dog In Durer's Etching might be my new favourite!

The Dog in Durer’s Etching is excellent.

Thank you for these stories & your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

[@debreena2888]

Oh my goodness. One of the most horrifying stories on Night Gallery that I would avoid when the reruns started for the series was the one about the earwig. When you got to the part in Boomerang about the earwig, I had to stop the story for a moment, go outside and have a cig to settle myself. I then searched for the title and author, yep, they used the story in the series. I listened, cringing. I will be creeped out for days. laughing...

[@tediprifti4348]

Amazing!

[@suecondon1685]

Tony Walker must have an amazing mind. When you read stories out loud it gives them flesh and they materialise in your head. He must have some interesting dreams with all those ghost stories he's read floating around in there. 👻

The Owl. A lovely Christmas story. (... but I wonder why the horse did not speak.)

[@usedscar]

Cool.

[@violetfemme411]

Thank you Tony. These holidays are difficult for me, and I'm certain I'm not the only one, which is even more sad. As the Beatles once said "All the lonely people" etc. Some of us can feel the most lonely when having a partner with a grown kids who are having children of their own. I don't feel I'm ever going to be an acceptable partner for her my mother-in-law's precious son (obviously her favorite.) But wheras in past relationships I was wecomed and loved by family members, Not in this one, at least by the mother, a miserable actually an extremely disagreeable human. I will NEVER be whom she wishes. A strong Italian who was left a widow long ago and began attempting to control her children, their lives, and making undeserved assumptions about many of us. I love my partner and after all these years, it seems she is still attempting to control her him, and luckily he, being intelligent and understanding her manipulative ways, and has a way of not allowing her to come between us. But she IS his mother and I respect that. My mother adored him, but then she was a beautiful lady, inside and out. While it's impossible to find even one positive attribute in this woman. Even if she buys a gift for a wife or gf, it most be opened when she is there, to assess your reaction. If there isn't enough praise regarding the gift, you didn't like it and is labled ungrateful. So she'd rather see excessive praise over each gift, in front of her. And God help anyone new that hadn't been apprised of the theatrical praises necessary to appease her. Otherwise you will never be an acceptable member of the family. Even though David and I have lived together for decades, I am not, nor can I ever do ANYTHING to gain her acceptance. I don't care about how she deliberately attempts to hurt me with her downright evil behavior. And then gives me wonderful gifts for birthdays and holidays, the truth is always revealed. She lives off the compliments, beaming as if she just cured cancer, instead of accomplishmenting in purchasing a gift I usually DO appreciate. But she opens a gift from me as if she expects the package to contain a saved bowel movement and gift wrapped it in lovely paper. After many years she hasn't yet appoved in her son and I being as happy as can be expected. And living nearby, a pop-in is always a possibility, meaning she catches me in clothing meant for wearing only to clean house. But in her eyes, those are my only clothes and I don't bother to "clean up" when she does the pop-in, which is every visit. I used to try and win her over. But I finally understand it's a game for her, one I can never win. So I take solace in knowing our lives are our "wins" and though it's no fair game, I'm still here which I believe believe she never expected nor made me an official member of HER family. Sorry for the rant. Hope all is well with the family and pups. Keep posting about them for all us many dog lovers. Cheers my friend, V

Why can I not see a list of placemarks for start of chapters/ stories on this one? What am I doing wrong?

[@cimorene8929]

I admire your ability to do accents greatly! They might not be perfect - my ear isn't good enough to find fault with them anyway. But it's a pity that your own accent isn't getting equal time (or maybe it just seems that way because of which ones I've listened to last). Maybe you should make a playlist of stories narrated in your own accent...

[@ivyminor6083]

I love this accent and could pick up the "ather ha" given a couple of months. My first try at it. By the way, what language is it? Gaelic, Scottish, Cumbrian, Welsh, Cornish or yours alone? 🙄

[@ClassicGhost]

I can’t remember what i said to be honest :) probably my own

[@dianeoheron596]

Tony, did you say you have a poetry podcast? Dettails please....

[@ClassicGhost]

It’s so deeply buried on KZbin that I can’t even find the channel now. I can’t remember which email I used to create it you see so I can’t log into it and when I search, I simply can’t find it.

[@dianeoheron596]

@@ClassicGhost Got it. Your poetry reading on Sleepy Folklore was uh-mazing.

[@FiddlersThree]

I’m quite content to listen to narrations without an accent regardless of where the story is set. One of the more aggravating accents to hear mimicked is the Scottish accent. Sorry Tony, I can’t listen to these.

[@ClassicGhost]

I take your point. Me old dad would be turning in his grave to hear me butcher his accent. But all stories have an accent. For example, an MR James story read by someone in a Scouse or Geordie or Brummie accent wouldn't work, I don't think

[@ajb7786]

Tony, Toni, Tone - big fan and merry Christmas; however, I have to tax you a bit for "Thrawn Janet." Too much, my man. I appreciate your commitment to accents, but it's just too much on that story. It was a chore to get through that story, and I'm pretty good at understanding most accents. For instance, I know in the story when you say "deal" you're really saying "devil," but you are saying "deal," for Pete's sake.
