"The Spirits' Mountain" by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

[@kokorospirit5006]

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, required reading at spanish schools in the 80s. Great reading and channel!

[@tamlandipper29]

Do you know a good Spanish language reading? Love Spanish.

[@ScullyPop]

Phenomenal reading channel.

[@soulreaver1983]

Thanks Ian for all the stories throughout 2024! Happy Christmas my friend!

[@Nanosuit37]

Excellent story and narration. Thank you, Mr Gordon and Horror Babble. A pleasure, as always. Until next time.

[@donaldmccleary9015]

I'm glad to give this story another listen. It is a great story and narration! Wishing all a Merry Christmas! Thanks!

[@tamlandipper29]

And you, old boy. Just had the first glass of cheer for the season.

[@donaldmccleary9015]

@tamlandipper29 thanks! My dad and I cracked open the 14-year Singleton Speyside the other night. We had one while watching "A Christmas Carol" last night. My son said it smelled "really strong."

[@Richard-f4b4r]

I thank you both for the story! I dove right in this time as I am out of popcorn. I wish you, your family, your friends, and your colleagues a very merry Christmas!

[@Shacthulhu]

Another terrific performance and an author deserving acclaim!

[@andreasfilis9001]

A beloved story, indeed! Merry Christmas Ian.

[@alevasanloa6267]

[@romonaricketts]

"It goes loose like a mounted horsemen in a spanish pack of cards" this whole story felt like that sentence.

[@raissadevereux6762]

Loved this! Very atmospheric and old school. Thank you. 🎄

[@johnoliva5153]

Good story,one I've never heard before.Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@2001Tavis]

That was Awesome!!!! 💎😫

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Superb as always!

[@michaelgreaves2375]

Well... I think it's perfectly reasonable to recognize that it's the Spirit's mountain's scarf Now.

[@LucicPower]

Yes!!!!!!

[@thom-novi]

Lady Babble! Good to have you back.

[@robbabcock_]

Wonderful story, Ian! One of my favorites by a relatively less well-known author!

[@focuszx]

Well acted! Thank you!

[@bryansmith844]

The Tombs of the Blind Dead is how I imagined this story looking

[@AcornElectron]

Jen! ❤️

[@justnice4701]

Thank you.

Leon Phelps voice " ooo it's a lady"

[@hyugalubbok7770]

This kind of stories make me think of the Slavic witches and vengeful ghost’s 3/4 phases parasitic and restorative metamorphosis of their corporeal bodies,fuelled by their parasitic ethereal bodies (in an variation, their first phase form from their blood, has one eye on their forehead and they attack travelers in the forests)

[@rileyrosewriter]

I must admit that I was surprised to hear a female voice on this channel. I must have missed her co-narrations on earlier stories. It is the perfect addition, especially for a tragic romance tale such as this one.

[@rockfordlow571]

Love your stuff- this is BAD😊

The moral of the story kids: don’t send people to their ends because you think it’s funny…

Two Innsmouth girls go round the outside Round the outside Two Innsmouth girls go round the outside. Guess who’s back? Back again? Warren’s back. Tell a friend.

[@Robert-A-R]

Malcom McLaren and Eminem?

[@TransRoofKorean]

Seems more like "Dagon's back, Tell a friend"

[@johngalvin6352]

Somebody mind my scarf, I have to go to frasal rock on this of all nights and look for her chatelaine.

[@The.Original.Mr.X]

Don't go messing about with 1st cousins! It will only end in stupidity.

[@ClipperHorizon]

To be fair, especially in older times/literature, the term "cousin" would be used to address most relatives not in one's immediate family, so 2nd, 3rd, and removed cousins, not just direct 1st cousins. Given that Beatrice is visiting from a more distant city, she is probably not his 1st cousin but a more distant cousin related several generations back.

[@H0RR0R_HANG0VERZ]

Karma?! 😅

[@jessed3483]

I hate to say so, but the pacing of this may have been half-a-beat too strong? I missed a touch of the dialogue, and a more delicate pace would make for a more comfortable listen. I almost didn't post this comment, as I really love everything you do. But I decided that, since it was only constructive, I probably wouldn't look like too much of an A-hole.

[@HorrorBabble]

This one goes back to 2018, which probably accounts for the difference in pace. I’d certainly approach it differently nowadays.

[@jessed3483]

@HorrorBabble don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved it. Probably my favorite narration channel on YT 🤘🤘

[@TransRoofKorean]

@@HorrorBabble For what it's worth, I would've listened to it in 2018, but enjoyed it even more this time around. Although now I know not to trust Beatrice's wily ways, which will only bring her to sad ruin...

[@revolutionaryhamburger]

No one knows what goes on on spirit mountain.

[@jessedeeeeee]

This seems rushed
