"The Horla (Part 5)" - Guy de Maupassant

A death has occurred, and an odd one at that! Strange tales of unseen things rustling in the foliage, and the mangled corpse of the victim... could a man have done all that... we work with the evidence we have... let's ask the witness what happened.

Why did I drop Pickman, the Mad Artist of Boston... Don't be impatient. I'm getting to that... but first, maybe let's turn on the light for this next part... God, I wouldn't be alive if I'd ever seen what that man—if he was a man—saw... Originally recorded Dec. 2023

An antiquarian's journey through backwoods New England turns sinister as he spots a foreboding old house. Seeking shelter from the elements, he sees no other option but to take refuge in the dark, unwelcoming building. Dilapidated and far from the path of ordinary travelers, he assumes it to be abandoned.... and enters. Originally recorded Jan. 2024.

What... that house across the street... No, there isn't anything particularly interesting about that house. Are you looking to buy? Well, then, that changes things! I'll tell you what I know.

My husband has been acting strange, lately... And that's saying something! All he wants to do is wear this pastel orange towel and... wait... I think he's trying to tell me something.... Is he humming? A Christmas story nightmare. Originally recorded Feb. 2024. ► CREDITS: Story by Ben Wooding, licensed with author's permission

A guilty man confesses to a horrible crime. The details surrounding the case are strange, to say the least... An incessant ringing, and a pale blue eye.

Published in 1843, Edgar Allan Poe's timeless horror tale explores themes of paranoia, guilt, and madness. ► CREDITS: expectant 0R_65m by Setuniman, License: CC BY-NC 4.0 preoccupied 1Q21 by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 oops 1A71 by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 piano loop 1E71 by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 surprised 0T_49plr by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 pensive atmosphere 0_20d by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 heart beat increasing 116642.wav by klankbeeld, License: CC BY 4.0 mark time 1P77b by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 scattered thoughts 0T_34pe by Setuniman, CC BY-NC 4.0 Cornered by Myuu, License: CC BY-NC 3.0
