      Can't wait ... just like a kid waiting for xmas. Did anyone as a kid, secretly open ALL their gifts beneath the tree *before* xmas when the adults were asleep or not at home? Who will admit it right here on YT? Assuming you celebrated it this way...

    The narration, the music, the eerie atmosphere, the sound effects, the marvellous singing, the artwork. All top notch. One can only imagine how much work goes into each story. It's very much appreciated, Jasper. Thanks again for the best channel on YT.

    Excellent little story, and as clear cut an example of the theory some writer had of the Christmas ghost story as always boiling down to the intrusion of the cold (real winter, and death) into the artificial warmth (of the home/holiday) as I’ve ever seen. And you went ahead and SANG a line or two!

      I love the music, but I understand. Some of us with failing hearing or spectrum related perception can experience a lot of difficulties separating the two or multiple sounds.
      Synaesthesia can cause a riot of colour which is distracting.
      Personally, I think it perfects the mood and enhances the story. But I do understand that there are people it won't suit .

      I think he’s a ruthless businessman who drove the ghost guy to kill himself and his child.

    • @EnCryptedHorror
      @EnCryptedHorror  5 днів тому +6

      I mean, it's left to the imagination as to what happened between Marriner and the man (and son). I took it that since they were dead he had one less expense that year (mentioned at the start) and extrapolated from that that maybe he had been paying for a lovechild and recently decided enough was enough. Note how he tried to stop his wife going to the door. But perhaps she also is aware of his infidelity (reference to her tact). Just my theory though.
