The fact there is hardly any music, makes this a fantastic piece of drama, and what a briiliant adaption this is. I saw it when it was first shown in 1976. Thank you so much for uploading it
I've read this story 3 or 4 times, and it's amazing to see it perfectly translated! Adaptations are so freely interpretated these days it's nice to see one that's on the button. Shows how the quality of TV has plummeted today - Come on BBC get yer finger out!!
i havent myself! but have heard screaming coming from that area late at night.... and every other fecker on our estate reckons they have seen a ghost train.. 12 o clock every night apparently! lol.... mad!
I read this when I was 12 or something and really loved it! now I'm 23 and needed Dr Who to remind me of it and to tell me it was written by dickens...^^; (to be fair: this story isn't well known at all where I live.)
So creepy. The play Ghost Stories (in London until recently) isn't a patch on this, and neither is basically any schlock-horror movie from the last 10 years.
@brianbry93 the accident at Staplehurst wasn't a crash it was a derailment a gang had removed a rail on a bridge for replacement and had failed to stop an approaching train which Mr Dickens was riding. Luckily his carriage remained upright and flew over the gap but it affected him differently for 5 years later to the day of the accident he died
@621Kershaw I spent 10 years as a Signalman, and there are more scarier places than that one - for real lol. Good story though- I worked in Moss Side Crossing box at the time I read it; on the Blackpool Sth line.

What? You live there?
I've seen a fair share of horro movies in my life, but this one, in the suspenseful bits, scared the living daylights out of me!
It was a story taught in my English Reader, class V. A masterpiece!!

Why don't we see ghost stories like this anymore at Christmas?
The Staplehurst train crash, kent. quite shocking really...the one on this is inspired by the Clayton tunnel crash though..
It was legal to do that for 2000 years before the victorians, it was the victorians who created the age of consent.

True, but Ghost Stories wasn't a bad effort though.
