Dubmill Point From More Cumbrian Ghost Stories by Tony Walker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лис 2021
- A woman painter comes to the Cumbrian coast for a break. On the lonely sands by Dubmill Point she meets a fisherman who seems haunted by things he sees and others can't. He warns her to leave. He warns her he has seen something. But she is a modern woman with modern thoughts. Those can be useful some places, but not here. Why oh why didn't she listen to his dark forebodings?
Another one of the Tony Walker Ghost Stories by that Tony Walker fella.

Problem: Being stalked by a malevolent entity.
British Solution: Have a cup of tea!
I’ve found it solves every problem
@@ClassicGhost Darn right! 😁
I wasn't expecting that. Now I'm shivering in the damp fog, up to my knees in freezing sea water, in the middle of the Mojave desert in Arizona.
Wow, that was a great story.
I've run out of ways to express how well crafted stories such as this one affect me. But I liked it so much I'm certain I'll be listening even closer next time I hear it. Thank you so much Tony. You have no idea how much this channel means to me ❤
Your comment speaks for me as well!
This one unnerved me. The sea made me more anxious than the ghost. I grew up on the coast, and nothing looks more ominous or malevolent than the sea in poor weather.
Absolutely 👍
That was one of the best and most satisfying twists I have ever heard in a short story!
Excellent story... super unnerving description of the mist, tide, and confusion. And great twist.
We listened to three stories driving from Carmel-by-the-Sea back home to Los Angeles. I just love all you do. ❤
Oh you made me feel the sunshine there
Nothing like a good podcast to shorten a long trip. 😁
I cannot thank you enough for this, Tony. You really are the best ever. Today has been awful. My new dog had to get surgery and it didn’t go that well (she has another one on Monday now 😭), and I broke my finger at work, and this is literally the only thing in the world that could have made me feel better right now. You have the best timing.
Hope that everything improves for you and your dog soon Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴🕊️
Such a picturesque story one can feel ones self there...jellyfish dropped like falling stars. Eerie, atmospheric.
That is the best story yet!
I love the fact you said that.
I absolutely love when you do the heavy northern accent it's 100% spot on
I try
An interesting tale, really like a painting itself. The mists and the sea and the old man all were very vivid and the story's end was unexpected.
Awesome story and narration! This one ran full-circle! Anything more would be a spoiler!
Thanks, Tony!
As a writer myself, throughout the story the back of my mind was saying "I hope he ends it this way, that's how I would end it". And you did. This is one worthy of being listed among the classics you narrate.
Thank you very much. You’ve made me happy
Oh My!!! Never saw that coming! Excellent job!!! Excellent!
I absolutely love the imagery in this one. I can hear and smell the seashore, and feel every crackle of a shell underfoot.
Wow. Fantastic story, just as spellbound by your narration this time. You are master, Tony Thank you.
oh t y v m Marti. I feel like I'm going to have a break from ghost stories soon. Maybe more sleep stories ;)
@@ClassicGhost Yes Please
You’re the best narrator I’ve ever listened to. Seriously.
Aw, that's lovely to hear :) Made my Sunday morning. Thank you!
If you like this style of story try A West Cumberland Coal Mine ua-cam.com/video/R_RKiBSzwlc/v-deo.html
^^ This is a good one! I prefer your ghosts tales to your stories of man-eating demons. 😉
This is one of my favorites of yours, Tony. It's a beautiful, sad story, loved it!
loved it! Brilliantly done - didn't even imagine the twist until exactly the right moment, then made perfect sense!
Ooh I enjoyed this one, thank you. Beautifully read and beautifully written.
Excellent story. I knew there would have to be a twist at the end to give the narrative a grand finale and I was not disappointed.
Thank you Jacqueline.
Tony Walker your wonderfully written story perfectly described everything to do with that lonely farmhouse and shore. I have passed the house many a time over many years but never once have I seen anyone there. If you told me it was a true story- I would be convinced it was...
When I was a child I remember on weekends Cumbrians from miles around would go to Twentyman's shop in Allonby for their delicious homemade ice- cream. There was always a queue that wound around their little shop with 2 mini aisles but it gave you plenty of time to pick up bags of pre-weighed sweets and Allonby rock that were so cheap you couldn't resist. They used to sell XL Cheese crisps which only exist in Cumbria - the best crisps in the world! Thanks again for your brilliant work Tony- you are delighting many people all over the world including myself in Catalonia Spain with your intriguing stories.
Ah yes. In all the years I’ve know. That house I’ve never seen anyone in it . Cheese xl. You can’t get them anywhere else. Except i think they have them in Dumfries
I have to quit the victorians once and forever now... a wonderful chill you’ve produced with this one!!
Thank you.
I listened to this whilst staring out towards (today's) grey green Coral Sea.
Wow.
I’d like to be there
Now, THAT was creepy! Good job!
that was the best story i’ve heard in all of 2021! cool ending!!
One of my absolute favorites, Tony. We all have our ways of facing our fears...your masterful stories and vivid narration help me face mine.also this time around. Much appreciated and many, many thanks.
Careful when you go onto a strange beach in the fog
I'm extra careful on all beaches. Also on beaches I know. Born, bred in San Francisco in walking distance of the Pacific. Lots of fog Would love it if you wrote an SF ghost story :0).@@ClassicGhost
Bravo! I like this the best of all your stories. I thought that I had guessed the end, but I was wrong.
Brilliant! And I only have to hear the words "sea fret" to get the creeps! 💜💛💚💙
WOW!!
Oh what a great story .Thank you .
Also I’m so fussy about narrators and I really enjoy yours.
This was really awesome! It's rare to hear an original plot. I totally didn't see that as the explanation. Very well done.
I could see the sand ripples with shells and seaweed along the cold beach front in my mind as I listen to your warm voice.👣👣👣👣🦀🐟👣👣👣👣👣
Wow what a wonderful story. I didn’t expect the twist at the end it was brilliant just the sort of ghost story I like. Thank you 🙏
I loved this. It’s like a brilliant re telling of “The woman in Black”. The strong elements of nature work so well in the story.
Yes. I hadn't fully realised she was a modern woman in black
Loved the whole story from beginning to end.
Ta.
Don't know how I'd managed to miss this one until tonight. What a phenomenal story, Tony, and wonderfully read. Thank you!
I’m glad that you did find it though
This is an excellent, frightening tale! Well done - you are so talented!
Wow. So well written. I love listening to your stories while i drift into sleep. Thanks again Mr Walker
Just heard this on tv--better sound than my pc. Fantastic story, gripping narration. 2 time to get the details I may have missed.Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! I am getting more and more poetic in my stories I think. Good or bad thing, who knows.
Okay, you frightened me! Even though I’ve never been to the sea the idea of getting caught out and cut off by the tide has always been a fear of mine. It was a lovely twist at the end but thanks to you, if I ever make it to the coast I think I’ll stick close to the shore.
One say this happened to me. It was sunny but with a mist over the sand and I got disoriented. Scary
Excellent. Thanks!
Bravo!
Incredible story and perfectly read
Ever see anyone try to keep their head up in bed? I was fighting the water,mist and sand as well. Good job, Tony!!
Beautiful narration I have been left spellbound ! The story is superbly crafted.
Many thanks and regards
Just goes to prove that there are certain things best left untouched! What a brilliant story, Tony,
I suppose she should have left well alone.
Ditto: Masterful. Thank you!
When the story was ended I said, "Nice!" Very gripping story -- brings to mind a book I read as a child in which one of the characters - possibly the narrator - was a ghost. I've tried to find it since, but haven't been able to. Anyway, thanks for this -- most enjoyable! [found the book I had read: "The Ghost Belonged to Me," by Richard Peck]
I will have to look into that story. Thank you
Just bought it! Thanks for the title.
Bravo!❤💀❤💀❤💀
Excellent, excellent story!
Thank you 🙏
@Classic Ghost Stories Podcast This is an amazing story sir I love your writing love the mine story as well and your sleep story. Thank you so much for this
Extraordinary
My dad was born nr alanby. We played on the beach there as kids. Your description is perfect. I rode on it and walked on it alot but you still managed to creep me out!!! The familiar became eery. Brilliant story.
You’ve gasted my flabber! This is a beautifully-written, eerie, and haunting work.
+@Stratollac Thank you so much
Oh! Brilliant! Thank you very much.
This one is awesome!! Thankx professor
You have a lovely relaxing voice Tony
Thank you kindly
Very nice, atmospheric!
Wow!
Incredible tale Tony!!!! Great writing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉! And equally amazing reading ❤
Thanks so much!!
Wow.
Absolutely brilliant!
I'm delighted I found your channel !!
Keep up the good work Tony 😀
Love your stories Tony thx
What a terrific story Mr. Walker! Ghost stories are my absolute faves..yours never disappoint! I could so see this as a movie, the setting and atmosphere would lend very well to it..a bit reminiscent of "The Woman in Black". The remake was ok, but the original from 1989 was fantastic! It scared the wits out if me. It, 'Ghost Story", and 'The Shining' (original with Jack Nicholson) are my favorite movies.
Thanks Jacee
@@ClassicGhost
You're so welcome..thank you again! Can't wait to hear more of your narrations..original and retelling. Especially the ghost tales. 👻👻
You’ve sure been busy posting lately!! Much appreciated ✊♥️
I used to try and have a schedule but it's not me. I have gone back to my erratic self, so I sometimes post a lot . I don't know why.
Great stuff Tony! You have the opposite of 'You missed a bit' at 5:49 😁😱
Did I have two attempts? Unfortunately too late to edit here.
Another fine tale. Thanks Jasper.
Thanks John.
Shivers!
Great story, love it! ❤
Very pleased you do
You succeded in surprising me with the ending. I already read it in your book but well worth a hearing today. I'm afraid of the water and this makes it more scary.
I loved this one so much! The description of the beach was very much like Ona beach here in Oregon and I'm an artist.
Be careful of fishermen !
That was just amazing and amazingly well constructed too. The weird look George gives her when she first sees him isn’t just some isolated fisherman behaving eccentrically at all as I first thought. I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t heard it yet by saying what George sees and why it creates that undefinable look on his face. That becomes horribly clear in the last sentence. Like my beloved ‘Again’ goes for the primal fear of being trapped in a confined space with something monstrous this story takes dead aim at another - being slowly but surely surrounded and ultimately swallowed by the sea. Safety so close yet so out of reach. A lot of people have a phobia of bridges and my sister is among them. Her recurring nightmare is she’s trying to cross one and waves begin crashing over it - more and more of the bridge vanishing with each one. Even my mouth goes a bit dry when I hear the word causeway. I still need to thank her for that time I was five or so and she turned out the light and put my hand in a bowl of cold spaghetti and told me they were eyeballs. This story will reduce her to a whimpering wreck. So I suppose I’ll forward it to her like a good baby brother. We all know the cliche about the best temperature for revenge. This serving will be downright icy. As for our narrators attire all I can say is shame on you Robert Smith. You only get to create fashion victims if every album you make is as good as ‘Three Imaginary Boys’. If that’s not a law it should be.
fantastic story!
Oh my G! This was so so difficult for me to listen to... I truly struggled to stay and not click off. Your description of the waves and tide and sudden change in the sea...
I must still have PTSD over my experience in Rio de Janeiro when i only 9 years old.
My family was at a lonely beach outside Rio for a picnic. We didn't know it was known for rogue waves that would come in .. I was almost knee deep in water with my back to the ocean, about 40 feet from my dad at the picnic blanket... when I was hit with a rogue wave. I was told to dig in with my hands and feet or i would be taken out to sea. I had had no time in my little lungs to take a breath, but I stayed down under the enormous weight of the wave for several minutes. I could feel it still moving over me toward the beach and didn't try to stand up until i finally... After how many minutes?.. could feel the weight of the water starting to lighten a bit. How long would it have taken that wave....probably 15 feet high or more... To go up the beach, wipe out all our picnic spread, over the grassy dunes, and TO THE CAR parked on the single lane road?!
How long, just on its incoming onslaught, but then also on its path back out?
I never in that whole time under water felt that I needed to take a breath. How is that possible?! (Actually I know.)
Clearly I'm here for a reason.
So, Tony, it's why i never, ever, ever turn my back on the ocean. And why your description of the ocean tide and its power...and mystery... Almost made me hold my breath while you told the brilliant tale!
(When we reached the car, Dad pointed out the wet asphalt at the car tires.)
Truly terrifying. An excellent shudder 😵😁
You have a beautiful voice sir!
Thank you kindly!
Tony, You are a very talented story teller 💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗💙🤗
Thanks so much. Very kind.
Breathtaking narration. Your way with words are just beautiful. The description of the place is just so poetic. The last ten minutes of the narration was so thrilling. Thinking who will survive then finally realising that she was the ghost that's been haunting him for so long. A reminder of the last story you narrated the beast.
Thank you Sarah. I am now worrying I've run out of ideas. I did a bunch of stories for my latest collection and I've just done a Welsh one, but I worry that they are getting a bit samey. But then I worry. I might go back to my science fiction novel L:)
Creepy and disturbing.
Thank you :)
I love your stories!!
Btw, I'm a Vampire now 😊 Just my way of giving back a bit more for all the incredible listening. Happy Holidays Tony & family 🎄❤
Great story as usual! I have a tiny suggestion, though. Often the end of a story is a surprise. What I mean is that the final line is delivered without an emphasis that it might need to convey it is the end of the story. In this case…. Maybe a longer pause between the words “born” and “George”. Or the word “seen” might be emphasized or something. I love the stories you read and write and love the podcasts and descriptions of the author’s life. Thanks so very much…keep them coming!
You are right. There is something about that end which doesn’t sound right. I think I’ll red write it. Something like : it was true George was haunted. He’d been haunted all his life . He’d been haunted by me . “
@@ClassicGhost uhhhh, spoiler alert?
SPOILER ALERT.
Splendid.
Through your description of the landscape I had Maryport in my mind, genuine stomach flip a the name Solway Spirit - was reminded of the Solway Harvester 😔🙏🏼💐, hadn't expected the visiting artist to be a woman to start with but the ending😱 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼.
The way she compared her anxiety to her opinion that the fisherman had the same was excellent, although when she mentioned 'the cures' I wasn't suspecting mental health issues.
Top Quality, thanks so much.
I suppose I had the Solway Harvester in mind too. The sea is dangerous sadly. When it's wild, my admiration goes out to those who earn their living on it.
Wuff…what a story! I’d hoped it wouldn’t end the way it did but…excellent read of a gripping story. Thank you Tony!
Thank you so much 🌳🤠
You are welcome, Roxana. Thank you for listening
Awesome!!!!
Thanks!! :)
We are all others ghost some time haunting but mostly waiting.
very true
I did not see that coming.
you’re v talented
Is there a seaside version of a banshee? His vision has a similar function.
Thank you so much! I’ve just listened to the last story and I loved it! I really really really loved that Welsh fairy 🧚♀️ story! Would absolutely love some more of that! There are plenty of Irish folk stories with fairies et cetera, just an idea! And I loved your recent story which I fell asleep listening to you last night so I have to go back and find out what happened at the end! Great job Tony! Can I just say I love these three channels.... I hope you don’t mind Tony but people need to listen to this channel it’s called “Encrypted horror By Jasper LeStrange, And also bite size audio classics, which is a mixture of Victorian and later ghost stories and also detective stories from the same period! I hope you don’t mind me telling you about these Because you were all quite unique so it’s not competition, Plus Jasper advertises your channel on his! Thank you Tony 🙏🦋💎🦋
No, I think it's a good thing you mentioned them. There's Ian Gordon with Horrorbabble too who has a huge library. I have done another Welsh fairytale and an Irish one is coming.
@@ClassicGhost You are one amazing man! Thank you Tony! For some people are very specific when it comes to entertainment, you fill The requirements so so well! I absolutely love what you do!♥️ I find horror babble Too American for my taste And I did advertise your channel on there! Have a great evening Tony!🌟
Totally creepy! 👍
Thanks
thank you very much!
Love your storytelling love from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️👋
Thanks Deborah. I've got a story coming out soon by Douglas Hyde called Teig O'Kane and The Corpse. In it, I attempt an irish accent.... oh no.
@@ClassicGhost can’t wait you do accents very well you will be fine 😂👍
Been watching a while now first time comment really enjoyed the beast story and your voice thank you very much
Thank you for your kind words
Good stuff
Thanks Jimmy :)
Vickie (the painter) drove a blue Peugeot
Absolute classic and tragically all too realistic. Incoming tides, deepening channels, mist a deadly combination.
Yes it can be treacherous
