Hi Monsieur L'Estrange 👋 (I love that name 😁). Came back for another listen. It should have been called Les Yeux Sans Visage 😉. Billy Idol's song would have been an appropriate backdrop, too. But that piano piece was haunting and lovely. Thank you, you do such awesome work 👏 😀 😊 👍 🙌. Wouldn't it be terrifying if the quality of people's souls were reflected in their countenance?
@@waningmooncancer9628 Oh wow. I know this comment is a year old, but had to react to the idea of seeing the quality of a person's soul reflected in their face. What an idea that is for a story involving a legend or myth! I imagine it as literal, in which case people's expressions would be kind of strangely inverted as the reflection comes from within. And you can't hide it. 😮
@thehangingparsiple5692 People without empathy are disabled from seeing beyond what is presented. I don't believe it is at all outlandish to "see" with gut intuition, and pick up the truth of a person. If you haven't already figured it out, I'm weird 🙃😁😊
@@waningmooncancer9628 I rather enjoy reading your weird comments! I agree about gut instinct most definitely. I always remember as a child how I never liked or trusted one particular friend of my parents. I didn't know why. This friend would sometimes babysit me and my brother, but I wouldn't stay in the same room as her when she did. I was very young, but had I been older I still wouldn't have been able to put my finger on what it was about her, because she was very quiet and kind to be honest. we all know what they say about children and animals having sixth sense...well it later turned out this friend had served time in the past for violent crime and two serious assaults!
Perfect cadence and tempo of speech, music adding just the right scaling of dread and anxiety. A beautiful voice is empty without emotion. This was impeccable.
What great work you are doing! There is a huge range of exciting stories to draw from on your channel. You are also a very prolific creator, getting a handful out every week! I envy your ability to produce them at such a high rate. Hmm...perhaps we should collaborate some time! Hee hee.
Oh my God! That was fantastic! I loved it and you sound like a different man when you do the French accent- many people do great French accents but you actually became French! I’m perfectly sober and serious! Great story too! Thank you 🙏
I'll admit it's one thing doing a couple of lines in a French accent, another reading several paragraphs. I just had to channel my inner Inspector Clouseau and plough through it 😄
I can’t tell you how happy I am to have come across this channel for the first time because I have so many stories to listen to. Thank you so much I’m enjoying every story and the narrator.
Another exquisite production for one of the quintessence horror authors of the ages! Always love some Burrage- great job & story choice, Jasper. And quite the eye-catching thumbnail picture...
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. Some people don't appreciate high quality storytelling/production/narration. You can believe that I will be spreading the word about your channel.
Yes I haven't seen that name in a while what a beautifully written story that person always writes beautifully and it's a good story I enjoy the characters even though there are only a couple it's drawn up very well
Loved it! I can’t help but think this story could be used to create an awesome psychologically suspenseful movie. (think, “The Others”2001, with Nicole Kidman)🤣🤗🤣
To be honest, there are quite a few stories I've covered here that, to my knowledge, have never even been adapted for TV and a few of them could be expanded into terrific films. Maybe one day... "The Others" is a classic.
A subtle and unsettling tale ..the theme of a vengeful female spirit must be universal..have you happened upon kuchisake onna a Japanese legend? One who sees is all the better for its offstage element,no death this time but a Lingering....
Between high school and college I hade four full years of learning French. I felt confident I could communicate well enough to order a salad and a bottle of mineral water from the cafe next door to my hotel. 😂 "Here is the fütball and the cat is in the gentleman's toilet just as Madame requested...yes?
Has anyone bothered or been compelled to consider the parallels between St. JOAN and the garden Dame? The burning, the changed Visage or countenance after death..? I don't know, having only begun and not Catholic, if I'm chasing after shadows which are not there or not but thought it'd be interesting to consider
I'd say, given the specicifity of the locale, Burrage meant to connect the two. I suppose Joan (described in the story as the greatest woman who ever lived?) is a contrast to the woman without a face who was wicked and also committed the sin of suicide...
@@EnCryptedHorror yes that’s the most I could make of it- I don’t find anything of the author suggesting he would have any reason to hold a dislike toward Miss Of Arc’s character, and I am not sure but I think writers of the era were less inclined (if at all) to inject their own political or theological conjectures or opinions into their work, a la Dan Brown
Unfortunately A.M. Burrage is no longer around to consult so you'll have to have my take 😄... When he was beckoned to see the weeping lady on the bench she revealed her mutilated, disfigured face and presumably touched or embraced him, and laughed. He never recovered from the shock.
Here's a classic story by A.M. Burrage. I hope you enjoy it. More great stories on the way soon.

Thank you, Reagan 🙏
"Sweet dreams!" Ha. Another chilling read sir! You place the listener right in the courtyard in Rouen :)
Thanks Carla! Glad you enjoyed it.
Another superb treat. And now t's gone midnight for me and am off to dream some sweet dreams.
Ner-night, Simon.
So glad I found this channel. Creepy pastas are nice but most of them don’t hold a candle to the old masters.
Hi Rebecca Anne! I'm glad you found me! Welcome to the channel.
Oh I loved this one! Such a clever device to end the story too! 🎃
Thank you so much for your hard work. You are appreciated. 🌻 It always brightens my day to hear a fantastic tale.
So pleased to hear it! Thank you, Callie.
Enjoyed this one. Thank you, oh master of all that is spooky and dark ❤
Did i already mention how well you choose the musical accompaniments to your narrations? Well done.
Thank you so much 🙏
Great story and narration!
Thanks!
Brilliant story with excellent narration.
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction turned it's fur to white from black ;)
Brilliant story & narration 👍
_I'll leave now_
Haha!. Thanks Iron Snowflake.
What a combination! Your skills and Burrage's! Thank you very much
Thanks Susan! You're very welcome.
This is another brilliant reading of a classic tale. Great job as ever Jasper.
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed.
Many thanks Jasper. I very much like Burrage's tales. Beautifully done.
Can't beat a bit of Burrage. Thanks Alison.

Thank you, I've got quicker at the sound editing, but I wouldn't have the hours in the day to add the visuals you have. Always up for a collab btw 👍
Some just have to look, eh? What an enjoyable story! Thank you.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it, Blue.

@@EnCryptedHorror Sounds like you were definitely channelling Someone French- maybe a spirit!👻
LeStrange Maestro is definitely the one 👌 when it comes to accents...English and foreign languages

Thanks Mike! It's picked up a bit recently (I don't really know how fast it *should* grow) but, yes, spread the word 😄
Gave me a serious case of the jitters - thank you!!!
You're welcome 😊
Excellent, really, Jasper. I have heard this one once before, but I was still spellbound listening to you. 👏
Thanks Rosie, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Haven't heard this one before Jasper. Wonderfully read as always

Yes, lovely writer, Burrage. Thanks for your comment, Jan.
Superb!! Horribly blissfully creepy 😀👻
Yay, you DID it 💜
Yes, you suggested this one a while back, didn't you. It's a good story.
Love your wonderful reading voice, Jasper
Thank you.
I fracking love this channel! ❣️🫀❣️
Thanks Jimmy 😁
Good morning/afternoon 🐞💀

Has anyone bothered or been compelled to consider the parallels between St. JOAN and the garden Dame? The burning, the changed Visage or countenance after death..?

One would think that someone doing a historical research on Joan of Arc could respect local folklore. Silly coot!
What if I said I met your cousins, Sardonyx von Peculaire and Beryl th'Odd at a literary symposium not a fortnight ago?

Why he couldn t be touched? or hear laughs? Did the "ugly" lady touch him and laugh at him, when saw how scared he was?
Don't understand the ending
Unfortunately A.M. Burrage is no longer around to consult so you'll have to have my take 😄... When he was beckoned to see the weeping lady on the bench she revealed her mutilated, disfigured face and presumably touched or embraced him, and laughed. He never recovered from the shock.
