Love these shows. Used to truck and always searched for them late at night. The miles sure did go by fast when your so absorbed by a great show.

[@stevebergman6431]

An excellent reminder about what can happen to our minds and attitudes as we get older. Stay in the game and fight, people!

[@ginagriffin2277]

Love my Mystery Theater, listening from Dayton, Ohio 😊

[@Damicelija]

Never thought that "Ward Number Six" by Anton Chekhov could be like this :) Started to listen and could not stop )) Remember it from the school, in original, such a depressing gloomy story...

He sounds like the King of England who knighted Sir Loin of Beef! 😂😂😂😘

[@lynnrobinson8885]

Loved these! What a wonderful bounty of stories that really shows just how good, well-read writers used to ply their trade of stories that taught us about ourselves, as human beings - both the good and bad side! Really made you think about all the possibilities! Thank you so much!

[@shantibel]

Such a brilliant, profound tale. Sad and disturbing. Thanks for posting.

[@gearysmith7497]

Love each episode..grew up and studied at night

Yep,bedtime stories ! I put on auto play,and drift off!

[@andreaharding4971]

So do I! I can listen to the same story every night and never hear the end!

[@Carol-D.1324]

Same here!

[@fraymond3]

Same!!!

[@alexireland1435]

Me too, nothing is as relaxing and the voices 😌

[@TheBobbymcd]

@@andreaharding4971 exactly..me too! so glad i discovered these.

[@catherine4092]

I continue to find and listen to all episodes. I enjoy then greatly. Mental. Health continues to be misunderstood and a stigma point if veiw or neglect all together. Citizens should be ashamed of themselves. However today, our hospitals, and agencies do help, support, and provide guidance are available. Know science not stigma! ❤ Catherine from AZ 10/29/23

[@williamnorton9547]

This story was almost prophetic, seeing the state of V.A. hospitals today.

[@budahbaba7856]

That's what happens when the government takes over medicine! :)

Sadly it has gotten worse since your post

[@alanaminor1623]

Indeed. Nighty night stories to love. So well done! Love the intro. Thank you. Alana Minor

Goodnight from Derby, England x

fantastic

[@TheYogaDawg]

Thank you!

[@thirdcoastslots9394]

Very well done. But also a very depressing episode.

[@savedbyzero3554]

........ until next time....... Pleasant.......Dreams?!?!?!?!?

[@madellablassingame2359]

Thanks

[@gummieworms3909]

This was a depressing one😞

[@susanotway7875]

Also found this depressing. A very sad story.

[@camilobastidas6176]

Me too, I thought it could even be a real story, at the time of warning that things were not well by the friend that wanted to take him to Warsaw, he should have paid attention to leave, not waste the money, but not have returned there. And the friend at the ward ended up betraying him and yet the doctor did trust him. There is a lesson here to learn with regards to friends, true friends, and stress in life and work ilife...

[@roxanavasilakis9435]

Thank you 😵

[@Mi-yc3oy]

Very Russian with a dash of...Buddhism? :D Must find and read the original story. thanks!

[@laurenstygar7996]

Subliminal is an awful way to go. No effort from the antagonist. Indeed he did protest not enough.

[@stevebergman6431]

Antagonist or protagonist? The tragedy that I see is that the protagonist was, ultimately, apathetic.

[@UncleEarl97]

A bit sad eventually, very telling how some viewed mental health, and how (or if) th ey were treated many decades ago. Enjoyed 3/11/23.

[@bonnerscott5374]

Turn off your mind relax and float downstream let the story take you somewhere else and escape just for an hour. its kinda like chanting the mantra LOL. but really.

[@gregorycapp6688]

Excellent Beatles Reference 👍

[@Shar1022]

I recently found Mystery Theatre while looking for some audio sleep stories to help me relax @ nite. All of these tales are so different & intriguing. I’m SO glad I found this site! Thank u for taking the time to put these wonderful stories on for us to enjoy. Listening to the characters come alive & imagining everything happening in my head is both relaxing & rewarding. Kind of like being read a bedtime story as a child. Thank you very much!

[@bonnerscott5374]

@@Shar1022 Yes I find i`m less tense and makes it easier to fall asleep after listening to one of these. But yes you`re right just like a bedtime story when young.

[@bonnerscott5374]

''Strange but true stories'' and ''BedTimes stories'' one or the other is a must before bed.

It would be interesting to know if Kafka read and was influenced by this story by Chekow .

The uneven voice performances in these stories sometimes makes them hard to bear; one actor overacting, one underacting.

[@budahbaba7856]

YES!!! More insane asylum stories! ;)

[@theherdmeister9928]

Narrator sounds like Charlton Heston

[@extreme469]

really did not enjoy this one...mental illness is a touchy subject to me.

This audio was hard to hear as the recording quality badly done.

[@0therun1t21]

I'm the 666th like, oooWEEooo. Great episode! ...I wonder how many doctors actually hold that point of view, I can think of a couple that just might.

[@sarah-uv2wq]

Rather poke me brown eye than listen to that shit😊
