Unknown Broadcast | "Dear Ghost"
Oh my, don't be afraid. I mean, not of this show. It's not real, at least I don't think it is. My dear, just relax and listen. These ghosts, ghouls, monsters, murderers and more aren't really here to get you, but your ears may lie to you...

WEBVTT
1
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.720
Well, hello, my dear.
So good of you to come back to
2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:20.239
search, to scour your radio dial
just to find a little old than me.
3
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:28.559
And today is my favorite day of
the year, dieed de las mertos,
4
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:35.479
the day of the dead, A
day those who have left us behind
5
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:43.119
are at the top of our miye
a day one day. I guess you
6
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:50.359
could say I truly feel the love
if you will. Because of that,
7
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.960
I've chosen a well a ghost story
for tonight. I think it's appropriate,
8
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.679
and I hope you enjoy it as
much as I do. And please do
9
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:08.680
take a moment today today to think
about those you love who aren't with you
10
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:18.000
anymore, because they never truly leave
you in your heart, in your mind,
11
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.519
and maybe in that scary house down
the corner, what's that? What's
12
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.879
that? Oh no, no,
I plan to just have a nice n
13
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:33.239
ideas and I'm glad you're joining you. So let's play this scary one.
14
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:44.439
I hope you enjoy it. I
know I love this particular stories. Yeah
15
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:57.280
ghosts, yeah, ghosts, yeah. Ghost in the true story, there's
16
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.959
not much kind of inventing the stories
can do it. It's rather like playing
17
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.920
a game whose rude one is made
up without tellingone else what they are.
18
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.240
The events I'm going to report took
place in a glorious blaze in the most
19
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:21.159
marvelous summer in living memory, England, the summer of nineteen twenty one.
20
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.840
Good it was that summer. To
be alive, but to be young was
21
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:36.800
very heaven. I was an ould
of the century twenty one. Biotechs the
22
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:45.000
new Fiak and pre wash Powder presents
Beyond Midnight by Michael McKay. Just soak,

just so came biotechs, just so, just so came biotechs just so,
24
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.080
Just so can biotechs. If you

33
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:53.240
just soak, just soak in biotechs. There are plenty of people still alive
34
00:03:53.479 --> 00:04:00.159
who will recall the endless possession of
golden days nineteen twenty one, its unclouded
35
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.919
dawns, its magnificent moons of blue
and gold, its day sinking into warm,
36
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.599
noble evenings, full of the promise
of another day of the kind of
37
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.079
summer one dreamed about but seldom gains. I was leaving at this time with
38
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.279
my parents in Taunton, and they, knowing my ways, were not at
39
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.439
all put out when I went off, saying I would write when I found
40
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:40.920
out where I was going. I
had never been to cross Stratford. I
41
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.399
read its name and decided I made
up my own fantasy of characters. I
42
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.759
was in a passenger to a light
four o'clock in the afternoon. The whole
43
00:04:50.879 --> 00:05:00.800
earth growled pleasantly in the heat.
Rhyme Stratford, rhyme STRADFD. The station
44
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.000
master or a cap of golden Reid. But it appeared he was doing duty
45
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.959
as porter as well. It was
good to be twenty one at Crome Stratford
46
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:18.319
in the sun that summer Breadford afternoon
tickets. Please a good afternoon. Oh
47
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:25.399
this is beautiful. Oh yeah,
thank you too. I want to stay
48
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.800
here for a while. Have you
any suggestions where I might put up?
49
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.040
Put up? Well, there's a
belly in that if you don't mind a
50
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:39.040
bit of jollification on market days and
Saturday nights. Oh, when you see
51
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.800
my fare is going to be quite
a long one. I think I would
52
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:48.639
prefer private accommodation. M you go
out of the station. There, you
53
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.360
go over the bridge, you'll see
four houses in a row. They're called
54
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:59.279
the Vestibule Terrace. Now you call
it number two and from missus Wayne,
55
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:12.519
I thank you with the golberry.
I think you'll find she'll fix you up.
56
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.800
The Celestial Terrace consisted of four red
brick cottages about elegance of any sort.
57
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.319
They could not have been more ordinary
if the architect had entered a competition
58
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.879
for the most ordinary, the most
mediocre dwellings. So thank you very much.
59
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:39.199
It's a beautiful day. How do
you show a dead front room,
60
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.199
seldom used, uneasy chairs, a
small piano, a Fretberg front panel,
61
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.040
the front room fired grade, stuffed
with orange tissue paper. Above the mantel
62
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.839
piece there was the enlarged photograph of
a man in khaki. It was dark,
63
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.240
with a full mustache and an expression
of slight of astonishment on his face.
64
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:10.120
I made a satisfactord deal with Missus
Wayne. The other lady was Missus
65
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.680
Jennison, a fiftyish stout and as
it was called then a kindly infectious laugh.
66
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.399
I knew I would being to be
comfortable. Six weeks or so I
67
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.040
decided upon time in which to write
a novel. Oh, yes, that
68
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:33.519
is what I had set my heart
underlie the blue Cloudless days went by,
69
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.360
and I wrote not a word of
the novel. I liked my ladies.
70
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.360
We took our news together, and
the household was an easy one to dwelling.
71
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:51.360
And then a strange uneasiness began to
make itself manifest in my mind for
72
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.519
no reason at all. It seemed
I began to be afraid of something,
73
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.839
afraid in the way that I never
experienced before all. For that matter,
74
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:11.480
since this time, mm and Ter
Johnson said, if you think well of
75
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:24.480
what you work at night stared about
in the morning, I see quiet you
76
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:37.879
The lady uh and uh oh,
come on field, and what's the matter
77
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:46.559
with you? What is there to
be afraid of? Man? So quiet?
78
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.039
But there was no doubt about it. For some strange, strange reason,
79
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.200
I was afraid to stay in that
house in the basketball teddies a level
80
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.159
way? Are you are you going
up? Yes? Well just you let
81
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:41.480
it all by bye, can't you
see? I became certain that I was
82
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:48.000
being followed by something down the stairs
whenever I'd been up to my room.
83
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.679
It was worse somehow when they went
out of the house. M uh huh
84
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:09.759
from there here? Why you see
that's my name? Stupid? Yes,
85
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:31.440
yesterday too, and got the eppen. I wasn't end wasn't. I knew,
86
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.440
of course, that Missus Wayne was
a widow, and I knew that
87
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:41.559
exceptionally playing soldier in the picture was
her deceased husband. On Sunday, after
88
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.679
the ceremonial tea, Missus Wayne used
him as a time tag of people do
89
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.799
She was putting the tea things together, take him out into the kitchen,
90
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.759
and was at that moment holding what
I privately thought to be a very ugly
91
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:03.480
teapot. Missus Gallaton regarded the teapot
she Noddy dadd I always liked that tea
92
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.960
pot. Do you believe in premonition? No, I can't say that I
93
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.799
do at any rate. I've never
had one that was worth having. Do
94
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:20.000
you believe in comminations? It away? Oh, tell me about it away?
95
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:31.000
I'd rather not. It's a painful
subject. She often thinks about that.
96
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.320
On Sunday two years ago, on
a Sunday, she had a premonition
97
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.120
of something awful all day. Her
husband, who went into business when he
98
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.639
came out of the army, used
to get up first and go after work.
99
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.080
That Monday morning, when missus Wayne
came down, she found him in
100
00:11:50.120 --> 00:12:05.120
the kitchen. He'd hanged himself there
why there had to be an inquest,
101
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.000
of course, but nothing definitely ever
came out of it. He had troubles
102
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.279
money or drink or athing like that. Well, there had to be a
103
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.320
reason. There had to be.
Tell me about it, tell me what
104
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:26.200
it was. But well, if
you ask me, it's done my opinion,
105
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:33.720
of course, I'm asking you if
it shoot me, I'm not gonna
106
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.799
help me to w with the one
reason. To tell me the reason I
107
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.759
recomen Like a lot of other men, couldn't settle down to ordinary life.
108
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.279
When he came out of the army, it wasn't the same anymore. Whatever
109
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.200
makes you like life, but got
out of it. He never liked being
110
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.919
a soldier, but but he got
back home. He didn't like that either.
111
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.440
Some fellows managed better than he did
with it. He couldn't used to
112
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.480
brew a lot. He could hardly
get a word out of him. Some
113
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:11.799
time I stared at the photograph of
Sydney Way, and then as missus Jennison,
114
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.759
do you mean who killed himself?
Because he would fall? I say
115
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:24.039
four, No, say lost.
It was a lot like that when they
116
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:30.840
came back killing in action, you
might say. I moved close to the
117
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.720
photograph and stared at the dead facing
it. He stared with the same cold
118
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:43.519
intensity, not acting me, but
passed more. It was horrible, the
119
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.639
stillness of the face, those eyes
fixed on some object of vision beyond me
120
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.519
or my glass. His hair was
close cropped beneath his hat with its bag
121
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.840
of the Suffolk regiment. The piece
of the cap came down almost to the
122
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.320
bridge of his nose, hiding his
valet. Nothing fitted with either his body,
123
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.159
his temperament, or his final act. Now that I knew what that
124
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.159
act could be, he was dressed
from me. In the horror of the
125
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:22.080
grotesque, my eyes moved involuntly to
his neck, and I turned away,
126
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:28.080
alike from the photograph the dreadful imagies, which I violently excluded from my mind.
127
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.399
No, how should we spending any
to church? Or what? Or
128
00:14:37.399 --> 00:15:01.879
shall we have a game of card
daring. Let's go out and paint the
129
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:07.480
town red? But what about your
headache? Oh that's gone? Grandpire Headache
130
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.000
parted did depict grand Pire headache powtice
killed pain two stain nerves and with decisions.
131
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.279
Grand Pi headache powders are extra effective
because they have a triple action.
132
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.320
Grand Pi headache powders were extra pass
because they dissolve almost immediately. Get past
133
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:28.480
effective relief from any pain or pains. Get Grandpire headache powders. Ah,

Grandpa jam soak soak in biotechs stains, grass, pains, collar and custains,

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:48.159
don't stir a finger? Jam soak

140
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:33.000
Well what do you think would that'd
be nice? Oh see, I look
141
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.919
at that Sydney's picture. Well,
well, of course years ago one of
142
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:44.600
these hens stand the brush when you
don't care this men are right. I'm
143
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.480
sorry that happened. Now you'll have
to have his friends friends broken. Su
144
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.720
I shn't do that. I never
really liked that photograph, and you put
145
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.519
it up there to peace Sidney.
I'd like to remember him the way he
146
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.960
worked before he went into the ground. I should just put it away somewhere.
147
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.799
And then I knew that we were
not three in that house, but
148
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:26.039
four. For the situation had taken
a new turn. I did not know
149
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:33.039
what to expect. I decided that
that day after the falling of the picture
150
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.440
was a day to be spent by
the sea. So accordingly I went to
151
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:48.400
Lerstaft. I soon settled with a
new step on the promenade in a deck
152
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:55.359
chair. There was an empty chair
beside me does not empty longer. An
153
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.559
middle aged woman sat beside me.
All show a few She made occasion to
154
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:14.519
talk to me. You are traveled
about something, aren't you. Hm,
155
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:22.559
yes, yes I am. Will
you tell me why it is? When?
156
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:33.359
Yes, yes, all I will, And if it was the most
157
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.039
natural thing in the world. I
told her the whole story from my arrival
158
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.799
in the house, in the basketball
tennis right up until the falling of a
159
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:56.799
picture. May I tell you about
anything? Certainly, i'd I'd like to
160
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.359
hear. It's quite care to me. I I believe that he or ghost
161
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.240
or you want, haven't any you
like to do to that part of it
162
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:12.880
just you not know exists. When
the body's tournem away, that's that's pause
163
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:19.400
that it was given to his terrible
deeds. I write the stress it was
164
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.119
very well to him. However,
Stiy, you or anybody else thinking get
165
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:32.519
to a bed and after it in
the cure of vision that brings with it,
166
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.880
he saw how wrong had it been, how cruel to that kind of
167
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:44.480
a woman. He's he's trying to
tell her that, and he can't leave
168
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.759
the house that he has done it. He's in touch for you to be
169
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:56.119
his messenger. You know that now, but you're receiving the message. Oh
170
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.559
you mustn't, my dear, you
must He set the poor ghost freeze.
171
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:12.640
I can't do that. I won't
we little message if the reasone the charge
172
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.920
down the way. He told me
that you don't dare stay in the house
173
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.039
and the others of guanas for the
walk or that's right, durn the right
174
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.200
woman, that that's just the time
when the time hardest to get his message
175
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.400
to you. You must go in
my house and give him a chance.
176
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:38.319
I does he'll leave you till you
do it. Maybe you'll hate only chance?
177
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.519
Uh huh, how do you know? You're aware? Spearings? And
178
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.000
I must go home to lunch.
I stands I should come to you this
179
00:20:52.119 --> 00:21:00.240
morning. And then he was gone, walking against the sun so I could
180
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:27.759
hardly see a depot. I arrived
back at Clove Stratford at six, and
181
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:36.440
now less it. I must keep
up, my correspondent. It's a great
182
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:44.359
novelists to come out of this holiday. And at least I must then missus
183
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:56.039
Wayne and missus Jennerson. And she's
particularly silent. It's a howd I don't
184
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:03.720
feel a friend anymore? H I
age kitchen ring? Where did the body
185
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:22.519
hang? Tiney? Where in flams
the little kitchen had the peace of a
186
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:30.519
Dutch interior. The place shone quietly
with care. There was not even a
187
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:36.079
sound from the outside world. The
shadows in the room moved solemnly with the
188
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:48.319
sun, and the light imperceptibly faded. The window was opened a littroom at
189
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:55.160
the tops, and occasionally the curtain
stirred in a passing soundless breathe. My
190
00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:00.880
eyes felt heavy and my limbs agreeably
warm. I felt, for the first
191
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:15.440
time completely free of fear. Slowly
I moved in that half slumber that one
192
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:22.079
gets in church at Sermontine when hears
the sound of the voice and sometimes the
193
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:36.960
words that the whole the impressions that
jumbled. And then something happened, Something
194
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:44.880
happened that turned me a theme of
terror. I uttered a sound like a
195
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.000
man in the nightmare. I struggled
to shout at the dark terror that flapped
196
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.200
in my mind. I thought I
saw something, a limp form, hunnaturally
197
00:23:53.359 --> 00:24:10.559
hanging in the room in front of
me. H in doing your correspond Hot
198
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:18.200
you go while I mixed up.
Yeah, I'll just get everything to that
199
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.559
and then I can see her.
Listen, get the jump to my eye.
200
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:42.920
I'm going hungry. Why coffee isn't
an officer of the royal flying corfee.
201
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:53.279
He's wearing the uniform of an army. Chaps, you're a giddy limit
202
00:24:53.400 --> 00:25:04.799
you really are? Oh all right, deal, quite all right? Why
203
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.519
shouldn't I be fought? Maybe you
had one of your headaches, son?
204
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:15.079
Maybe well, no one who writes
it's hard to happen. I didn't go
205
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.559
to bed shortly after supper made you
do that. We'll wash up, won't
206
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:26.160
we? Rob She had lost her
air of commonplace acceptance of life. She
207
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.920
looked like, what could it be
like? Someone who had mislaidy possession was
208
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:36.519
trying to remember where it might be. She wasn't going to bed because she
209
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.960
had a headache. She was going
because she wanted to be alone to think
210
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:48.119
about whatever it was that preoccupied her. Wetherby was over, she rose,
211
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.559
well, if you don't mind,
it is not at all where you go.
212
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.599
Have a good rest, And so
missus Wayne went up to bed.
213
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.559
Next morning, I was having breakfast
when I heard the postman knock at the
214
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:25.799
door, Thanks, oh Mat.
I expected her to return to the kitchen
215
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:29.720
where I sat at breakfast. I
was reading the paper, which I'd propped
216
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:34.079
up against the teapot. This is
Wayne didn't come back. I thought she
217
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.759
was being a long time out of
the lobby. There was no sound at
218
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.799
all, And then just when I
was going out to see if anything was
219
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:48.319
the matter, she came in slowly. Her face, with its snub nose
220
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.799
and thin hair, was as tail
as death. It had a terrible dignity
221
00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.400
of sadness, a piercing accusation like
an angel with a sword, and a
222
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.119
dreadful quietness. She held out to
me a letter. The envelope and notepaper
223
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:19.079
were mine. It was addressed to
someone called Meggs. What did you know?
224
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.640
He called me Mark. I did
not need to ask any questions.
225
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:32.920
She had found this letter among my
mail on a little table, and she
226
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:42.480
gave the rest of the postman.
I didn't know, well, I never
227
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:56.119
told you read the letter. I
don't want to read it. Macks,
228
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:18.599
dear give me, forgive me that
already teens. But you noted I thought
229
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:25.039
it with your letters. Mm hmm. Cared to you last night, didn't
230
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:36.839
he? I don't know. I
knew as soon as I came in my
231
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:44.279
house. I think he stayed with
me until who came with him? And
232
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:49.920
I knew he was here. I
shouldn't think everyone else would ever now but
233
00:28:51.039 --> 00:29:14.799
do you know it came to you? And now he goes the famous I'm
234
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:22.519
getting this my doctor pell who until
you too? Maybe you and the chick
235
00:29:23.720 --> 00:30:08.119
makest forgive me, forgive me le
so just so good biotake Ah. There
236
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:14.359
we go my favorite record yet again, yet again, as we wrap up
237
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:19.039
one of my favorite things to do
listening with you. Remember, if you
238
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.319
wish to reach out to me but
simply don't have access to Luiji board,
239
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:29.960
you can send me an email at
Weird Mysteries Pod at gmail dot com.
240
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.359
You can also leave me a mortal
tip if you go to weird dash Mysteries
241
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:41.039
dot com. You'd be surprised how
much money can come in handy even where
242
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.799
I am. Anyway, my dear, I suppose it's time for me to
243
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.640
wrap up. You see, once
the sun comes up, my time is
244
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:56.400
done until of course tomorrow. I
surely do hope that I see you then
245
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:04.440
for another fun tale, some more
time together. I really do appreciate it.
246
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:10.759
And remember, if you miss someone
today, they probably miss you too.
247
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.160
On that note, good night and
I'll see you tomorrow Tonight
1
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.720
Well, hello, my dear.
So good of you to come back to
2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:20.239
search, to scour your radio dial
just to find a little old than me.
3
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:28.559
And today is my favorite day of
the year, dieed de las mertos,
4
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:35.479
the day of the dead, A
day those who have left us behind
5
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:43.119
are at the top of our miye
a day one day. I guess you
6
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:50.359
could say I truly feel the love
if you will. Because of that,
7
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.960
I've chosen a well a ghost story
for tonight. I think it's appropriate,
8
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.679
and I hope you enjoy it as
much as I do. And please do
9
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:08.680
take a moment today today to think
about those you love who aren't with you
10
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:18.000
anymore, because they never truly leave
you in your heart, in your mind,
11
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.519
and maybe in that scary house down
the corner, what's that? What's
12
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.879
that? Oh no, no,
I plan to just have a nice n
13
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:33.239
ideas and I'm glad you're joining you. So let's play this scary one.
14
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:44.439
I hope you enjoy it. I
know I love this particular stories. Yeah
15
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:57.280
ghosts, yeah, ghosts, yeah. Ghost in the true story, there's
16
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.959
not much kind of inventing the stories
can do it. It's rather like playing
17
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.920
a game whose rude one is made
up without tellingone else what they are.
18
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.240
The events I'm going to report took
place in a glorious blaze in the most
19
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:21.159
marvelous summer in living memory, England, the summer of nineteen twenty one.
20
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.840
Good it was that summer. To
be alive, but to be young was
21
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:36.800
very heaven. I was an ould
of the century twenty one. Biotechs the

34
00:03:53.479 --> 00:04:00.159
who will recall the endless possession of
golden days nineteen twenty one, its unclouded
35
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.919
dawns, its magnificent moons of blue
and gold, its day sinking into warm,
36
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.599
noble evenings, full of the promise
of another day of the kind of
37
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.079
summer one dreamed about but seldom gains. I was leaving at this time with
38
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.279
my parents in Taunton, and they, knowing my ways, were not at
39
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.439
all put out when I went off, saying I would write when I found
40
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:40.920
out where I was going. I
had never been to cross Stratford. I
41
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.399
read its name and decided I made
up my own fantasy of characters. I
42
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.759
was in a passenger to a light
four o'clock in the afternoon. The whole
43
00:04:50.879 --> 00:05:00.800
earth growled pleasantly in the heat.
Rhyme Stratford, rhyme STRADFD. The station
44
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.000
master or a cap of golden Reid. But it appeared he was doing duty
45
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.959
as porter as well. It was
good to be twenty one at Crome Stratford
46
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:18.319
in the sun that summer Breadford afternoon
tickets. Please a good afternoon. Oh
47
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:25.399
this is beautiful. Oh yeah,
thank you too. I want to stay
48
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.800
here for a while. Have you
any suggestions where I might put up?
49
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.040
Put up? Well, there's a
belly in that if you don't mind a
50
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:39.040
bit of jollification on market days and
Saturday nights. Oh, when you see
51
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.800
my fare is going to be quite
a long one. I think I would
52
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:48.639
prefer private accommodation. M you go
out of the station. There, you
53
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.360
go over the bridge, you'll see
four houses in a row. They're called
54
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:59.279
the Vestibule Terrace. Now you call
it number two and from missus Wayne,
55
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:12.519
I thank you with the golberry.
I think you'll find she'll fix you up.
56
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.800
The Celestial Terrace consisted of four red
brick cottages about elegance of any sort.
57
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.319
They could not have been more ordinary
if the architect had entered a competition
58
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.879
for the most ordinary, the most
mediocre dwellings. So thank you very much.
59
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:39.199
It's a beautiful day. How do
you show a dead front room,
60
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.199
seldom used, uneasy chairs, a
small piano, a Fretberg front panel,
61
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.040
the front room fired grade, stuffed
with orange tissue paper. Above the mantel
62
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.839
piece there was the enlarged photograph of
a man in khaki. It was dark,
63
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.240
with a full mustache and an expression
of slight of astonishment on his face.
64
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:10.120
I made a satisfactord deal with Missus
Wayne. The other lady was Missus
65
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.680
Jennison, a fiftyish stout and as
it was called then a kindly infectious laugh.
66
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.399
I knew I would being to be
comfortable. Six weeks or so I
67
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.040
decided upon time in which to write
a novel. Oh, yes, that
68
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:33.519
is what I had set my heart
underlie the blue Cloudless days went by,
69
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.360
and I wrote not a word of
the novel. I liked my ladies.
70
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.360
We took our news together, and
the household was an easy one to dwelling.
71
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:51.360
And then a strange uneasiness began to
make itself manifest in my mind for
72
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.519
no reason at all. It seemed
I began to be afraid of something,
73
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.839
afraid in the way that I never
experienced before all. For that matter,
74
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:11.480
since this time, mm and Ter
Johnson said, if you think well of
75
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:24.480
what you work at night stared about
in the morning, I see quiet you
76
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:37.879
The lady uh and uh oh,
come on field, and what's the matter
77
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:46.559
with you? What is there to
be afraid of? Man? So quiet?
78
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.039
But there was no doubt about it. For some strange, strange reason,
79
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.200
I was afraid to stay in that
house in the basketball teddies a level
80
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.159
way? Are you are you going
up? Yes? Well just you let
81
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:41.480
it all by bye, can't you
see? I became certain that I was
82
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:48.000
being followed by something down the stairs
whenever I'd been up to my room.
83
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.679
It was worse somehow when they went
out of the house. M uh huh
84
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:09.759
from there here? Why you see
that's my name? Stupid? Yes,
85
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:31.440
yesterday too, and got the eppen. I wasn't end wasn't. I knew,
86
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.440
of course, that Missus Wayne was
a widow, and I knew that
87
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:41.559
exceptionally playing soldier in the picture was
her deceased husband. On Sunday, after
88
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.679
the ceremonial tea, Missus Wayne used
him as a time tag of people do
89
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.799
She was putting the tea things together, take him out into the kitchen,
90
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.759
and was at that moment holding what
I privately thought to be a very ugly
91
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:03.480
teapot. Missus Gallaton regarded the teapot
she Noddy dadd I always liked that tea
92
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.960
pot. Do you believe in premonition? No, I can't say that I
93
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.799
do at any rate. I've never
had one that was worth having. Do
94
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:20.000
you believe in comminations? It away? Oh, tell me about it away?
95
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:31.000
I'd rather not. It's a painful
subject. She often thinks about that.
96
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.320
On Sunday two years ago, on
a Sunday, she had a premonition
97
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.120
of something awful all day. Her
husband, who went into business when he
98
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.639
came out of the army, used
to get up first and go after work.
99
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.080
That Monday morning, when missus Wayne
came down, she found him in
100
00:11:50.120 --> 00:12:05.120
the kitchen. He'd hanged himself there
why there had to be an inquest,
101
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.000
of course, but nothing definitely ever
came out of it. He had troubles
102
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.279
money or drink or athing like that. Well, there had to be a
103
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.320
reason. There had to be.
Tell me about it, tell me what
104
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:26.200
it was. But well, if
you ask me, it's done my opinion,
105
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:33.720
of course, I'm asking you if
it shoot me, I'm not gonna
106
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.799
help me to w with the one
reason. To tell me the reason I
107
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.759
recomen Like a lot of other men, couldn't settle down to ordinary life.
108
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.279
When he came out of the army, it wasn't the same anymore. Whatever
109
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.200
makes you like life, but got
out of it. He never liked being
110
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.919
a soldier, but but he got
back home. He didn't like that either.
111
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.440
Some fellows managed better than he did
with it. He couldn't used to
112
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.480
brew a lot. He could hardly
get a word out of him. Some
113
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:11.799
time I stared at the photograph of
Sydney Way, and then as missus Jennison,
114
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.759
do you mean who killed himself?
Because he would fall? I say
115
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:24.039
four, No, say lost.
It was a lot like that when they
116
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:30.840
came back killing in action, you
might say. I moved close to the
117
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.720
photograph and stared at the dead facing
it. He stared with the same cold
118
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:43.519
intensity, not acting me, but
passed more. It was horrible, the
119
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.639
stillness of the face, those eyes
fixed on some object of vision beyond me
120
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.519
or my glass. His hair was
close cropped beneath his hat with its bag
121
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.840
of the Suffolk regiment. The piece
of the cap came down almost to the
122
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.320
bridge of his nose, hiding his
valet. Nothing fitted with either his body,
123
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.159
his temperament, or his final act. Now that I knew what that
124
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.159
act could be, he was dressed
from me. In the horror of the
125
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:22.080
grotesque, my eyes moved involuntly to
his neck, and I turned away,
126
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:28.080
alike from the photograph the dreadful imagies, which I violently excluded from my mind.
127
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.399
No, how should we spending any
to church? Or what? Or
128
00:14:37.399 --> 00:15:01.879
shall we have a game of card
daring. Let's go out and paint the
129
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:07.480
town red? But what about your
headache? Oh that's gone? Grandpire Headache

131
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.279
Grand Pi headache powders are extra effective
because they have a triple action.
132
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.320
Grand Pi headache powders were extra pass
because they dissolve almost immediately. Get past

140
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:33.000
Well what do you think would that'd
be nice? Oh see, I look
141
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.919
at that Sydney's picture. Well,
well, of course years ago one of
142
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:44.600
these hens stand the brush when you
don't care this men are right. I'm
143
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.480
sorry that happened. Now you'll have
to have his friends friends broken. Su
144
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.720
I shn't do that. I never
really liked that photograph, and you put
145
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.519
it up there to peace Sidney.
I'd like to remember him the way he
146
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.960
worked before he went into the ground. I should just put it away somewhere.
147
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.799
And then I knew that we were
not three in that house, but
148
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:26.039
four. For the situation had taken
a new turn. I did not know
149
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:33.039
what to expect. I decided that
that day after the falling of the picture
150
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.440
was a day to be spent by
the sea. So accordingly I went to
151
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:48.400
Lerstaft. I soon settled with a
new step on the promenade in a deck
152
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:55.359
chair. There was an empty chair
beside me does not empty longer. An
153
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.559
middle aged woman sat beside me.
All show a few She made occasion to
154
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:14.519
talk to me. You are traveled
about something, aren't you. Hm,
155
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:22.559
yes, yes I am. Will
you tell me why it is? When?
156
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:33.359
Yes, yes, all I will, And if it was the most
157
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.039
natural thing in the world. I
told her the whole story from my arrival
158
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.799
in the house, in the basketball
tennis right up until the falling of a
159
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:56.799
picture. May I tell you about
anything? Certainly, i'd I'd like to
160
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.359
hear. It's quite care to me. I I believe that he or ghost
161
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.240
or you want, haven't any you
like to do to that part of it
162
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:12.880
just you not know exists. When
the body's tournem away, that's that's pause
163
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:19.400
that it was given to his terrible
deeds. I write the stress it was
164
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.119
very well to him. However,
Stiy, you or anybody else thinking get
165
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:32.519
to a bed and after it in
the cure of vision that brings with it,
166
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.880
he saw how wrong had it been, how cruel to that kind of
167
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:44.480
a woman. He's he's trying to
tell her that, and he can't leave
168
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.759
the house that he has done it. He's in touch for you to be
169
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:56.119
his messenger. You know that now, but you're receiving the message. Oh
170
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.559
you mustn't, my dear, you
must He set the poor ghost freeze.
171
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:12.640
I can't do that. I won't
we little message if the reasone the charge
172
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.920
down the way. He told me
that you don't dare stay in the house
173
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.039
and the others of guanas for the
walk or that's right, durn the right
174
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.200
woman, that that's just the time
when the time hardest to get his message
175
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.400
to you. You must go in
my house and give him a chance.
176
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:38.319
I does he'll leave you till you
do it. Maybe you'll hate only chance?
177
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.519
Uh huh, how do you know? You're aware? Spearings? And
178
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.000
I must go home to lunch.
I stands I should come to you this
179
00:20:52.119 --> 00:21:00.240
morning. And then he was gone, walking against the sun so I could
180
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:27.759
hardly see a depot. I arrived
back at Clove Stratford at six, and
181
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:36.440
now less it. I must keep
up, my correspondent. It's a great
182
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:44.359
novelists to come out of this holiday. And at least I must then missus
183
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:56.039
Wayne and missus Jennerson. And she's
particularly silent. It's a howd I don't
184
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:03.720
feel a friend anymore? H I
age kitchen ring? Where did the body
185
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:22.519
hang? Tiney? Where in flams
the little kitchen had the peace of a
186
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:30.519
Dutch interior. The place shone quietly
with care. There was not even a
187
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:36.079
sound from the outside world. The
shadows in the room moved solemnly with the
188
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:48.319
sun, and the light imperceptibly faded. The window was opened a littroom at
189
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:55.160
the tops, and occasionally the curtain
stirred in a passing soundless breathe. My
190
00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:00.880
eyes felt heavy and my limbs agreeably
warm. I felt, for the first
191
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:15.440
time completely free of fear. Slowly
I moved in that half slumber that one
192
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:22.079
gets in church at Sermontine when hears
the sound of the voice and sometimes the
193
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:36.960
words that the whole the impressions that
jumbled. And then something happened, Something
194
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:44.880
happened that turned me a theme of
terror. I uttered a sound like a
195
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.000
man in the nightmare. I struggled
to shout at the dark terror that flapped
196
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.200
in my mind. I thought I
saw something, a limp form, hunnaturally
197
00:23:53.359 --> 00:24:10.559
hanging in the room in front of
me. H in doing your correspond Hot
198
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:18.200
you go while I mixed up.
Yeah, I'll just get everything to that
199
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.559
and then I can see her.
Listen, get the jump to my eye.
200
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:42.920
I'm going hungry. Why coffee isn't
an officer of the royal flying corfee.
201
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:53.279
He's wearing the uniform of an army. Chaps, you're a giddy limit
202
00:24:53.400 --> 00:25:04.799
you really are? Oh all right, deal, quite all right? Why
203
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.519
shouldn't I be fought? Maybe you
had one of your headaches, son?
204
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:15.079
Maybe well, no one who writes
it's hard to happen. I didn't go
205
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.559
to bed shortly after supper made you
do that. We'll wash up, won't
206
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:26.160
we? Rob She had lost her
air of commonplace acceptance of life. She
207
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.920
looked like, what could it be
like? Someone who had mislaidy possession was
208
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:36.519
trying to remember where it might be. She wasn't going to bed because she
209
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.960
had a headache. She was going
because she wanted to be alone to think
210
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:48.119
about whatever it was that preoccupied her. Wetherby was over, she rose,
211
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.559
well, if you don't mind,
it is not at all where you go.
212
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.599
Have a good rest, And so
missus Wayne went up to bed.
213
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.559
Next morning, I was having breakfast
when I heard the postman knock at the
214
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:25.799
door, Thanks, oh Mat.
I expected her to return to the kitchen
215
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:29.720
where I sat at breakfast. I
was reading the paper, which I'd propped
216
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:34.079
up against the teapot. This is
Wayne didn't come back. I thought she
217
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.759
was being a long time out of
the lobby. There was no sound at
218
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.799
all, And then just when I
was going out to see if anything was
219
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:48.319
the matter, she came in slowly. Her face, with its snub nose
220
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.799
and thin hair, was as tail
as death. It had a terrible dignity
221
00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.400
of sadness, a piercing accusation like
an angel with a sword, and a
222
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.119
dreadful quietness. She held out to
me a letter. The envelope and notepaper
223
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:19.079
were mine. It was addressed to
someone called Meggs. What did you know?
224
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.640
He called me Mark. I did
not need to ask any questions.
225
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:32.920
She had found this letter among my
mail on a little table, and she
226
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:42.480
gave the rest of the postman.
I didn't know, well, I never
227
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:56.119
told you read the letter. I
don't want to read it. Macks,
228
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:18.599
dear give me, forgive me that
already teens. But you noted I thought
229
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:25.039
it with your letters. Mm hmm. Cared to you last night, didn't
230
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:36.839
he? I don't know. I
knew as soon as I came in my
231
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:44.279
house. I think he stayed with
me until who came with him? And
232
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:49.920
I knew he was here. I
shouldn't think everyone else would ever now but
233
00:28:51.039 --> 00:29:14.799
do you know it came to you? And now he goes the famous I'm
234
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:22.519
getting this my doctor pell who until
you too? Maybe you and the chick
235
00:29:23.720 --> 00:30:08.119
makest forgive me, forgive me le
so just so good biotake Ah. There
236
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:14.359
we go my favorite record yet again, yet again, as we wrap up
237
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:19.039
one of my favorite things to do
listening with you. Remember, if you
238
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.319
wish to reach out to me but
simply don't have access to Luiji board,
239
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:29.960
you can send me an email at
Weird Mysteries Pod at gmail dot com.
240
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.359
You can also leave me a mortal
tip if you go to weird dash Mysteries
241
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:41.039
dot com. You'd be surprised how
much money can come in handy even where
242
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.799
I am. Anyway, my dear, I suppose it's time for me to
243
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.640
wrap up. You see, once
the sun comes up, my time is
244
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:56.400
done until of course tomorrow. I
surely do hope that I see you then
245
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:04.440
for another fun tale, some more
time together. I really do appreciate it.
246
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:10.759
And remember, if you miss someone
today, they probably miss you too.
247
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.160
On that note, good night and
I'll see you tomorrow Tonight
