This is a good, old-fashioned ghost story. I listened to it idly while walking my dogs and for a short story it's entertaining. The story is a little underwhelming, especially the ending, but overall the tone was eerie and spooky. A good October listen for sure.

Good for October, if a little underwhelming

The story is okay, but too short. A good time-passer, but a little disappointing. Still, just a bit over 30 minutes.

Okay Ghost Story

Narrator does a great job reading this short story. Well done, draws you in. Bit of an odd ending, though. But not bad.

Definitely gave me a few chills

The narrator, Warrior, is AWFUL. Had to keep going back to re-listen because the narrator is so bad I kept zoning out. Sounded as though he was reading an instruction manual. Based on the other reviews, it may just be me who disliked the narrator so much. Story was pretty good, ending was interesting tho I would have appreciated some more details about the mother.
Nice, short listen

Hard to listen to…

Loved it. This was incredibly intriguing. Well performed and subtle - perfect for a scary ghost story.

Really scary
