  • A compilation of Victorian ghost stories that have appeared on the channel before but are here collected together to be read to you as if you were listening in the library of Rickerby Hall.
    It's a dark, cold, rainy winter's night outside, but cozy in the old library.
    Settle down, relax, feel free to doze off.

    My old eyes tire easily to the point I can't read more than a few minutes at a time and don't even watch TV much anymore. It's such a delight to find this collection of wonderful stories well-read. On a cold, dreary day I can make a pot of tea, sit back with a cat on my lap and just listen. Bliss! Thank you for this joy.

    Christmas and listening to this at 2 am. Got a call at 6:30 pm Christmas Eve while I was prepping for Christmas brunch that a family member had been injured and needed me to take him to the hospital. 7 hours later he’s home again and now so am I. It’s amazing all the doctors, nurses, orderlies, pharmacists and others all there on Christmas Eve. All cared for my relative with not only professional expertise but also cheer and humor. Our plans will all have to be postponed while he heals but I’m just grateful to be home, safe, and enjoying this lovely fireside library and your delightful voice reading these spooky stories. Thank you and Merry Christmas. ❤

    My Fathers Aunt, was named Rosamond , she lived from 1870 to 1970, out lived everyone she loved, children, Grandchildren, a few Great Grandchildren, lost her husband at 50. Who would want to live, this long after your loved ones,are gone? She was 6' tall, and a very sturdy woman, a descendant, of three Pilgrims, and they never gave up, so I think what many older Yankees thought that way. I enjoy your voice and lovely stories❤😊

    Ah, Tony! I've been in love with your voice since I first heard you read. Tonight, hearing Madam Crowly's Ghost, I shut my eyes and listened with pure delight. When the time comes and I am in my last days, my Final Directives document will tell my caretakers to fit me out with ear-buds and play your recordings (especially the ones with the Scots accent) to keep me company until the veil lifts and I cross to the other side. I can't think of a better way to go. 🥰

    Put this on Christmas Eve as I went to bed. Fell asleep almost immediately but woke up about an hour later just as The Open Door began. I lay there in the cold dark from about 11:30 Xmas Eve until about 12:30 Xmas morning to listen to the entire thing before dozing off again. It was fantastic.
