Victorian Ghost Stories For Winter Nights

A compilation of Victorian ghost stories that have appeared on the channel before but are here collected together to be read to you as if you were listening in the library of Rickerby Hall.
It's a dark, cold, rainy winter's night outside, but cozy in the old library.

[@fiddlersthree8463]

Hello to you from Alberta, Canada, just a bit north of you. Chilly here, too. Cuddled with my dog, candles lit… If you’re a nurse, you’re a hero. Enjoy your evenings!

[@denisewyburn6536]

13:54:00 My old eyes tire easily to the point I can't read more than a few minutes at a time and don't even watch TV much anymore. It's such a delight to find this collection of wonderful stories well-read. On a cold, dreary day I can make a pot of tea, sit back with a cat on my lap and just listen. Bliss! Thank you for this joy.

[@ClassicGhost]

In very happy that you like it

Christmas and listening to this at 2 am. Got a call at 6:30 pm Christmas Eve while I was prepping for Christmas brunch that a family member had been injured and needed me to take him to the hospital. 7 hours later he’s home again and now so am I. It’s amazing all the doctors, nurses, orderlies, pharmacists and others all there on Christmas Eve. All cared for my relative with not only professional expertise but also cheer and humor. Our plans will all have to be postponed while he heals but I’m just grateful to be home, safe, and enjoying this lovely fireside library and your delightful voice reading these spooky stories. Thank you and Merry Christmas. ❤

[@ClassicGhost]

Hope things work out well for you all.

[@doriskarloff964]

Delicious!! A perfect way to pass New Year's Eve, settled in with the dogs, a good bottle of wine, the lights down low. Every now and again we get a gust of windy rain to remind us how lucky we are to be inside and listening to beautifully-read ghost stories. Thank you so much.

[@ClassicGhost]

Sounds perfect !

[@marypaquette8705]

My Fathers Aunt, was named Rosamond , she lived from 1870 to 1970, out lived everyone she loved, children, Grandchildren, a few Great Grandchildren, lost her husband at 50. Who would want to live, this long after your loved ones,are gone? She was 6' tall, and a very sturdy woman, a descendant, of three Pilgrims, and they never gave up, so I think what many older Yankees thought that way. I enjoy your voice and lovely stories❤😊

[@ClassicGhost]

Thank you. Compliments of the Season

[@yagotoo7999]

Thank you! The sun set, the Beaver Moon rises, along with the volume…in the Green Mountains. TY!

[@christinekaye6393]

Ah, Tony! I've been in love with your voice since I first heard you read. Tonight, hearing Madam Crowly's Ghost, I shut my eyes and listened with pure delight. When the time comes and I am in my last days, my Final Directives document will tell my caretakers to fit me out with ear-buds and play your recordings (especially the ones with the Scots accent) to keep me company until the veil lifts and I cross to the other side. I can't think of a better way to go. 🥰

[@maryrickinson8947]

That is quite literally the nicest thing I've seen on the internet, ever. A fine complement.

Funny, it's a rainy and very cold winter night where I live. I'm inside nice and warm all cuddled up in my bed under very warm and fuzzy blankets. I'm about to listen to this ghost story for the first time.

[@allysonlewis1576]

I absolutely loved The Open Door absolutely fantastic. The phantom coach was a brilliant story too. Thank you so much for entertaining me whilst I feel poorly and seeing tiny Christmas cards for my grandchildren. Super entertainment. Bloody brilliant.

[@violetfemme411]

Finally able to hear this entire video. TYSM for all the hard work Tony. I appreciate you 💜

[@JagoBC]

Put this on Christmas Eve as I went to bed. Fell asleep almost immediately but woke up about an hour later just as The Open Door began. I lay there in the cold dark from about 11:30 Xmas Eve until about 12:30 Xmas morning to listen to the entire thing before dozing off again. It was fantastic.

[@applewagon253]

Ooooooh yes please and thank you! I always listen to Tony while I’m cooking. I’ll be making a nice chicken pot pie today.

[@AAMARTCLUB]

Beautifully narrated thank you! You helped me forget the sickness and pain of a bad dose of flu’

[@ClassicGhost]

+@AAMARTCLUB Glad to help :)

[@TheMrCougarful]

What an amazing collection. The Madam Crowls Ghost is a delight of narration. I had to listen a half dozen times just to get it all, fully amused for every minute.

[@ClassicGhost]
