Four Ghost Stories

Four Ghost Stories by Mrs. Molesworth invites listeners into four crisp Victorian ghost stories where everyday domestic life brushes against the uncanny. Mrs. Molesworth—celebrated for her warm, observant prose—turns her attention from moral tales to subtle supernatural fiction, offering narratives that hinge on memory, loss, and the uneasy persistence of the past. This collection gathers brief but potent tales—each narrated with the restraint and psychological insight of a late-19th-century storyteller. From an eyewitness account of an old lady’s eerie visitation to inexplicable encounters on quiet country roads and a haunting suggested by a passing train, the stories rely on atmosphere, implication, and character rather than shock. The result is a moody, measured exploration of fear as social and emotional disturbance, rooted in Victorian domestic settings yet still resonant today. Perfect for listeners who prefer suggestion to spectacle, Four Ghost Stories is ideal for fans of classic supernatural fiction, atmospheric short stories, and anyone who appreciates literary, psychologically sharp chills. Listen when you want a vintage, quietly unsettling experience that lingers after the final tale.
