THANK YOU, SIMON!!!! A wonderful story to subject to your inimitable talent. My dreary life needed a happy ending. Thank you 😊🤗

[@ruthhase-gutierrez9830]

I love these kinds of ghost stories, where the ghost isn't there to frighten, but only to seek help. This one pulls at the heart strings.

[@leonaheraty3760]

I agree. If I ever encounter a ghost, I'll try to help them, if I can. 😊

[@jackalina91]

This story was actually quite lovely- that’s 1 of the things about these older tales, that the story seems to be haunted rather than the other way around. Thank you Simon ♥️🇦🇺✌️

[@Paxtonparsnip]

Rather a clever observation! I’ve felt that feeling myself but have never had the wit or precision to put it so neatly! Well done!

This is the first one of these stories that made me cry. It was the mental imagery I got from her poignant description of the little lad's despair and loss, and his devotion to his sister. Maybe because it made me think of my mother and her siblings. My grandmother died in 1932, she was young and had many children. My grandmother's mother was full Cherokee but no one even knows her name now because those orphans were taught to be ashamed of their "savage" blood. My mother and two of her siblings went to a Masonic orphanage in Ft. Worth. Their 14 year old sister was too old for the orphanage (anyone over 13 was considered an adult) so she went to be a caretaker for the children of a recently widowed man. He married her when she turned 15, and they had a long happy marriage. He died in the 1970s and I still remember him as a sweet, funny man who adored my aunt. She never remarried. The other children, my mother's half-siblings? They had nowhere to go. Some survived to adulthood. I got to meet two of them. They had their mother's lovely brown skin, dark eyes, and black hair. They also had difficult lives in Oklahoma, as white folks didn't accept them, and their relatives on the reservation didn't want them either. I wish my mother had written about her experiences growing up in the Depression in an orphanage, separated from her siblings, but I think it was too painful. It reminds me of a Dickens story, set in the 20th century!

[@timd4524]

Yes. I found it a very touching story myself.

[@namrathaprasad2954]

This story is so so beautiful....Poor kind Georgie....worthy of heaven.... Glad...he found his peace at last!

[@user89389]

I think this may be my new favorite story. I love spooky stories with haunting endings, but this was just very sweet. I loved it how Edgar wasn't your typical skeptical-logical man of science who believes in no old wives' tales, until coming face-to-face with a ghost, and then getting terrified. I loved it that he was a tough guy, not afraid of a little rain or a little work, willing to move into a haunted house by himself without shrugging off the rumors, but still with a heart of gold and an open mind. I really liked it that the boy's eagerness and sadness (that he noticed, bravo Edgar) moved him so much, that he had to get to the bottom of the whole thing instead of ignoring him. He could have ignored the boy, clearly, he meant no harm to anyone, he was just looking. But he didn't. He went above and beyond to make him happy. And the boy seemed to understand that, too. I loved it how the little boy was able to see his sister that he yearned for so much. I loved it how he was able to become calm and happy, but he didn't have to move on and disappear, he was allowed to stay and be with his sister, watch her smile and live. And as the will was discovered, everything fell back into its rightful place. The little boy on his sister's side, Mary in her house with the money she was supposed to get, and Edgar next to Mary, because he clearly earned that place. Unlike stories such as Shalken the Painter and The Shadow in the Corner, this one didn't leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. What a pleasant tale. Thank you for bringing it to us.

Lovely Simon 🥰 have you considered doing a ambient story with a fire place and thunderstorm sounds that would be divine,so much love 💞

[@BitesizedAudio]

Thanks for the suggestion Sarah. I've not tried anything along those lines as yet, but I have heard it's becoming quite popular. I'm a bit old-school and traditionally audio books don't have anything other than the voice reading and sound effects are, or certainly used to be, discouraged. Perhaps I'll try it sometime as an optional extra, with some stories which are also available to listen to unadorned for those who prefer that.

[@garry2893]

Of all the great stories you have read over the years this is my favorite. I’d bet Dickens was envious of this wonderful story. Thank you!

[@lizpride9960]

Quite novel that the protagonist (Mr Stainton) at no point experienced fear at the sight of the ghost (so neither do we as the audience), but only acceptance and compassionate curiosity. The fear (for all of us) comes during his investigation of past events-fear that the boy's death was brought about by foul play. A rather different construct for a ghost story. Beautifully told by the incomparable Mr Stanhope, as always.

[@BitesizedAudio]

Thanks Liz - yes, it's an interesting structure. The same author uses a slightly similar idea in 'Nut Bush Farm', a blend of ghost story and detective story, both very popular genres at the time.

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Hello Simon, Thank you so much for bringing such a wonderful atmosphere in your splendid narration to this sad but heartening end of Charlotte Riddel.

My thanks, Simon, for this Halloween treat. A beautiful story, thoughtfully read. I'm afraid that my house is in a neighborhood passed over by trick-or-treaters, and I haven't been to a Hallowe'en party for years. Fortunately your story saved the day for me. I lean toward horrific ghost tales, but sometimes I do enjoy a sympathetic ghost, a touch of sentiment, and a pleasant ending, which you've provided in abundance. Many thanks, and a happy Hallowe'en to you!

But at the time this story was written the only option open to women for a secure future was to marry and in this case she was lucky to find such a kind man who loved her.

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to stay for the night at a very old mansion in the English countryside, but I respectfully declined and took the train back to London. Stories such as this, I always had in the drawers of my mind. Plus, I really believe old houses, grand and small, are not only rich in history but also in mystery. This is most perfect for Halloween. Thank you Simon and Thank you again for a brightline on a female horror author. Happy Halloween to you and all.

[@BitesizedAudio]

Thanks Simone, same to you. I think I'd've been tempted to accept the invitation!

[@catrinlewis939]

@@BitesizedAudio I most certainly would have, provided I didn't have other obligations. But I've stayed BnB in a 1400s manor house in Shropshire (reputed to be haunted, but I wasn't treated to any phenomena) and in a house in Kent incorporating the ruins of a 12th century abbey. So an offer such as Simone mentions above would be jam to me.

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

@@catrinlewis939 No kidding, me too. I’ve had VERY strange things happen to me and my (now deceased) fiancé just after college on Coronado Island, by the haunted Hotel Del Coronado. Cheers

[@LazyIRanch]

I would have taken that offer! I don't really believe in ghosts, but I certainly have no proof that they DON'T exist. I've stayed several times at an old hotel in Texas built in 1911 (I think). The Von Minden has a movie theater in the same building, and to my delight, the owner took us through a locked door down a dark, dusty hallway that lead to the projector room, used by employees back in the day who worked in the hotel, too. Even though the theater was still in limited operation, everything in that place looked so old, and dusty. They only played movies once a week. He let us explore the place and take pics. I had my 9 year old son sit in a front row seat and took a photo from the stage looking towards the audience. When I got home I uploaded the pics to my computer so we could see them on a bigger screen. When I got to that pic, my son pointed at what looked like several small oval shapes just over several the seats behind him. I enlarged the image, and we gasped because those spots looked like heads with faces! Now I know it was just a case of pareidolia caused by the dust particles that probably produced that effect, but it was very weird all the same.

[@simone222]

@@LazyIRanchThat offer was from my former employer, a milady, whom I haven't seen for quite some time. I was visiting England from the Philippines after 3 yrs. Although I worked for her mainly at her modern house in London, her family has minor aristocratic lineage which explains the several old mansions in the countryside. I'm a hypersensitive who sometimes senses the otherwordly. But my nose works better than my eyes. I can sometimes smell if a place is jinxed. At my condominium unit at a historic site in Manila almost 2 decades ago, I saw my first apparition, it was a lady garbed in ancient raiments that passed in front of my tv set one late evening. Thank you so much for sharing the fantastic experience you have had. I agree that sometimes it's just a case of pareidolia and/or dust particles messing up with the camera. When I saw the ghost, I thought of the same thing to calm my nerves, that my eyes were simply playing a trick since I was tired after a long day. Have a wonderful evening.
