About this listen

While staying at a friend’s house in an apparently humdrum London suburb, the sceptical Hugh Grainger sees and then converses with an unsettling stranger from his bedroom window in the very dead of night. But what could be the meaning of this curious visitation? ‘Hold very tight, please!’ E. F. Benson is well known for his Mapp and Lucia novels but his ghost and supernatural stories are marvellous jewels, combining elegant writing and moments of blood-curdling horror. Here Greg Wagland narrates one of the best of them, for Magpie Audio.

This is a well read short story of a friend recalling an eerie account of creepy premonition he had whilst staying at the mans house the previous summer and of which he is only now capable of talking about. Greg Wagland gives a good performance.
Nothing frightening, but makes you realise we all experience premonitions of some kind throughout our lives, some of us more aware of them than others.
