"On the Embankment" by Hugh E. Wright

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 21:20:42 GMT

What is the secret of the curiously empty seat on the Embankment between the Avenue and Westminster Bridge?This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. โ€œON THE EMBANKMENTโ€ by Hugh E. Wright (1919).CREATORโ€™S NOTE: Due to some copyright confusion, Spotify have alerted me to the fact that 61 episodes of the podcast (basically most of the early episodes that feature a piece of music called "The Black Waltz" as a theme tune) may soon disappear from the platform. I am trying to resolve this. The composer allows his music to be used under a creative commons licence provided he receives attribution, so I'm not sure what's going on. But if you find episodes disappearing from Spotify...that's what's happened!๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€Supporting my workIf you like, you can donate in the following ways:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpodYouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/joinOne-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcastYou can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE - it all helps the show survive and prosper!If you want to discuss the show, talk business, or have any ideas for stories you'd like to hear in future episodes, contact me: encryptedpod@gmail.com๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€About the story:"ON THE EMBANKMENTโ€ by Hugh E.

"The Bus Driver's Fear of Change" by Jasper L'Estrange

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 15:27:51 GMT

A bus driver recalls the highs and lows of his life in this dark and blackly comic monologue. This is a bit of an experiment for me, inspired by the popular character monologues written by Alan Bennett that were broadcast on British television in the 1990s. If people like it, I may make it the start of an occasional series called "Talking Dead".โ€œTHE BUS DRIVERโ€™S FEAR OF CHANGEโ€ by Jasper Lโ€™Estrange. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. You can hear me discuss this story by listening to an upcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem, my bonus show for paying YouTube channel members and Patreon supporters.CREATORโ€™S NOTE: These recordings may contain sound effects and music because thatโ€™s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If itโ€™s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™ll be glad to hear from you. The stories I choose to read I choose because I like them - not that they're all perfect or that I agree with all the sentiments expressed, but because I find something in them to recommend them. If I were to read only what I consider to be the few perfect vintage horror stories I should have recorded about twenty and stopped. But everything I read has something in it that appeals to my taste. Tastes differ, so you might not agree with my choices, but that doesn't make you right.๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€Supporting my workIf you like, you can donate in the following ways:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpodYouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/joinOne-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcastYou can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE - it all helps the show survive and prosper!If you want to discuss the show, talk business, or have any ideas for stories you'd like to hear in future episodes, contact me: encryptedpod@gmail.com๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€About the story:"The Bus Driverโ€™s Fear of Changeโ€ ยฉ Jasper Lโ€™Estrange (2025).Music credits:Music used : "LOST BETWEEN SPACESโ€ composed and produced by โ€œVivek Abhishekโ€Music link: https://youtu.be/jIak25MK33U?si=cK18_TduDf1LM5CXSUBSCRIBE us on YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3qumnPH Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtP Follow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JVSound effects: All sound effects sourced at Freesound*.*Used with the following licence: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ The recording was created using Audacity and BandLab.

In Reelfoot Lake, a backwoods bayou of the American South, lives an outcast freak โ€“ a lonely swamp dweller whose fishy features have earned him a strange moniker.

NOTE ABOUT PRONUNCIATION OF "SLOUGH"

A number of helpful people have gotten in touch to tell me I should have pronounced "slough" as "slew" as that is how it is pronounced in that part of the world. However, it was not a word known to me (not used much in British English, at least not in the sense meant in this story) so I referred to Merriam-Webster dictionary which suggested US speakers (except in New England) would pronounce the word "slew" or "sloo", but added that British English speakers would usually say "slau" (like the English town) even if they were refererring to an American swamp. As a British English speaker myself that was what I went with.

As I'm rather tired of people assuming I don't do any research when I record these damn stories, I thought I'd set the record straight. No need for anyone else to tell me it should be "slew". Any issues, take it up with the dictionary people. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

"The Fifteenth Green" by Margery Lawrence

Fri, 24 May 2024 18:09:26 GMT

Invited to share his story at Saundersonโ€™s Round Table, a golfer provides a terrifying account of an old fisherman, a vengeful curse, and the mystery of The Fifteenth Greenโ€ฆ This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. โ€œThe Fifteenth Greenโ€ by Margery Lawrence (from โ€œNights of the Round Tableโ€, first published 1926). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a forthcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7JYpOrSDoCfvPbjBn6DZGIXDlK-eOzpR). CREATORโ€™S NOTE: My recordings contain a mixture of audio narration, sound effects, and musicโ€ฆbecause thatโ€™s what I like to make and listen to. Itโ€™s not everyoneโ€™s cup of tea or coffee, but luckily we exist in a world of almost limitless choice, so if it hurts your ears or makes you nauseous, feel free to move on to something else, no need to leave a comment. I try and do voices and accents to distinguish between characters as it can help the listener, but Iโ€™m not Meryl Streep, nor have I ever claimed to be. Wish I had her money though. I do a wide variety of mostly vintage (early 20th century) stories on this channel. Naturally, the stories reflect the attitudes and language of the time. They didnโ€™t know any better. But they did dress smarter and look good in hats. Sometimes pet animals die in these stories (though not in this one). When it happens, try not to weep, just hold your own pet animal a little tighter (but not too tightly). ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

"The Bowmen" / "Out of the Earth" by Arthur Machen

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 21:44:57 GMT

In 1914 Arthur Machen published โ€œThe Bowmenโ€, a patriotic supernatural tale intended to boost the morale of British soldiers fighting in the trenches and those at home who had heard reports of the horrors of warfare. However, much to his consternation, Machenโ€™s story was taken as fact by a public who desperately wanted to believe and spawned the legend of The Angels of Mons. His 1915 short story โ€œOut of the Earthโ€ deals with the aftermath of โ€œThe Bowmenโ€ controversy, exploring the ways that myths and stories can take on a life of their own by examining some peculiar happenings along part of the Welsh coast. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. โ€œThe Bowmenโ€ by Arthur Machen (1914) and โ€œOut of the Earthโ€ by Arthur Machen (1915). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a forthcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem. CREATORโ€™S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because thatโ€™s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. There are many narrators who donโ€™t do this and they will be delighted to meet you. I try to do different voices just because I think it helps differentiate between characters when youโ€™re listening. Apologies if I donโ€™t nail every accent. You knew what I was going for, and at least I gave you a laugh. Apologies if I accidentally used a WW2 gun for my WW1 sound effects. Apologies if I said some of the Welsh things wrong. Itโ€™s hard, you know. The stories I read on this channel come from another time, many decades ago. If some of the ideas, beliefs, sentiments, and language upsets you, try and forgive themโ€ฆas you will expect to be forgiven by the people judging you ten years from now. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

"Kecksies" by Marjorie Bowen

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 22:13:35 GMT

Two debauched noblemen seek refuge in the cottage of Goody Boyle one stormy night. When they find out that her home is the last resting place of a mutual enemy โ€“ Richard Horne โ€“ and his corpse is in the next room, they decide to play a diabolical joke. But just who will have the last laugh in Marjorie Bowenโ€™s classic tale of cruelty, revenge, and witchcraft. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. โ€œKeckiesโ€ by Marjorie Bowen (1925). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to the next episode (17) of The EnCrypted Postmortem (uploaded soonโ€ฆwhen Iโ€™ve finished it!). CREATORโ€™S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because thatโ€™s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If itโ€™s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™ll be happy to meet you. I do accents and voices to help distinguish between characters, but please keep in mind that Iโ€™m not Michael Sheen or Meryl Streep, nor have I ever claimed to be. Sometimes when I voice a female character, I will raise the pitch of my voice. If this upsets you, I am sorryโ€ฆbut imagine how confusing it would be if all my female characters sounded like the baritones in a male voice choir. These are recorded by a rank amateur using substandard equipment in a room with appalling equipment. If this upsets you, please send money so I can buy better equipment and a new house. Finally, I try and pronounce all words correctly, but, like you, I am not a walking dictionary and encyclopedia. Think of my mistakes and idiosyncrasies as a charming reminder that you are listening to an actual human who has tried to imbue his narration with personality and dramaโ€ฆand not a soulless AI-generated voice. EDITORIAL NOTE: I made a slight amend to the text because I believe there was a point in the original where it was unclear which character was speaking. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

"The Next Heir" by H. D. Everett

A Canadian soldier journeys to England in response to an advertisement seeking the heir to his ancestral home Quinton Court. On visiting his cousin, a strange and invalid antiquarian, he uncovers dark secrets and begins to question whether he should accept the mantle ofโ€ฆthe next heir. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. โ€œThe Next Heirโ€ by H. D. Everett (1920). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to episode 16 of The EnCrypted Postmortem (uploaded soon).

"The Black Stone Statue" by Mary Elizabeth Counselman

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 19:55:06 GMT

The resident of a rundown boarding house becomes intrigued when a familiar face comes seeking a room. The man has returned from South America with a strange story and even stranger cargo. But will it be his undoingโ€ฆ? This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. โ€œThe Black Stone Statueโ€ by Mary Elizabeth Counselman (1937). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to episode 13 of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Due to various issues episodes 12 and 13 will be delayed.) NOTE: My recordings are intended to be an immersive experience featuring music and sound effects. If you donโ€™t like these elements, there are plenty of narration channels that donโ€™t have them and theyโ€™d love to hear from you. This is a hobby/side hustle. Iโ€™m an amateur at sound recording and production but I do my best to make something listenable. I do voices to differentiate between characters but Iโ€™m not a professional voice actor or narrator. Some of these stories are old and contain words and attitudes you might not like. They do not necessarily represent the views ofโ€ฆwellโ€ฆme. Sometimes a pet dog or cat will die. Horribly. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

"Grey Sand and White Sand" by Helen de Guerry Simpson

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I have receive comments (admittedly by only one user) that the podcast does not play for them. I have received no other reports of this and I have not personally experienced any playback failure when trying on a few different podcast platforms. Please comment or email me if you've had any playback problems. They might be out of my control, of course, but at least I can investigate...

THE STORY: A painter trying to capture the essence of his local marshland becomes convinced that the land and his common-law wife are conspiring to keep its secret from him. Slowly, his artistic obsession grows both deeper...and darker.

"Mr. Huffam" by Hugh Walpole

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 13:13:18 GMT

I hope you indulge me with this reading of a charming seasonal story by Hugh Walpole that is mysterious, maybe, but not in any way horrific... This heralds my upcoming season of Christmas ghost stories.

Faced with economic uncertainty and personal strife, Christmas seems a very gloomy prospect for everyone, including the wealthy Winsloes. But the arrival of a mysterious stranger, whose personality harks back to less cynical times, has a magical effect on the family and those around them.

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. "Mr. Huffam" by Hugh Walpole (1933).

"Bad Company" by Walter de la Mare

Sat, 28 May 2022 18:45:24 GMT

A  man becomes intrigued by the sinister old man he meets on the London  Underground. Despite his misgivings, he feels strangely compelled to  follow him.

This  is an original audio presentation of "Bad Company" by Walter de la Mare. It  has been performed, recorded, and mixed by Jasper L'Estrange for  EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast.

NOTE: I am informed that I mispronounced the word "enveloped" near the beginning of this one. When I checked back, it was true (to my chagrin). I am a humble amateur and every 500,000 words or so I make a mistake and it slips through in the editing process. I hope you can forgive me and that it won't affect your listening experience too greatly.

"Chance's Motto" by Jasper L'Estrange | An EnCrypted Original Story

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 08:56:31 GMT

"Whodunnit" writer Amelia Cramphorne seeks to engineer a love-match between two eligible singletons in her village - but starts to have second thoughts when she suspects that handsome Peter Chance has sinister motives. But is life imitating art or art imitating life in this strange tale?

In his essay "Stories I Have Tried To Write", the master of the antiquarian ghost story, M.R. James, outlined several plot ideas he'd been unable to develop. Naturally, other authors have since used these ideas for their own stories. One of the ideas James writes about concerns a Christmas cracker and this is my attempt at developing the story...

"The Dream" by A.J. Alan | An EnCrypted Vintage Radio Special

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 12:59:29 GMT

A vintage radio special of EnCrypted, returning once again to the whimsical uncanny shaggy dog stories of A.J. Alan. In "The Dream", Alan recounts the strange recurring dream he has had since childhood. But what can it all mean...?

Nottingham-born A.J. Alan (real name: Leslie Harrison Lambert) was a performing magician, radio ham, volunteer coastguard radio operator, and  naval intelligence officer who, at the start of World War II was part of the vital military intelligence effort at Bletchley Park. Prior to  the war, he was telling stories on BBC radio and became one of the most popular broadcasting personalities of the time. These stories - light, but often strange and sometimes spooky - were later to be anthologised in ghost story collections such as the Fontana series curated by Robert Aickman, although they were meant to be performed and delivered in the rambling, conversational style Alan had made his own. He died in 1941.

Archive radio of A.J. Alan is now hard to find, but you can hear some gramophone recordings on the Stars of the Wireless site here: https://rfwilmut.net/wireless/alan.html

More great horror stories are on their way...

An EnCrypted Special: "The Diver" by A.J. Alan

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 08:50:42 GMT

Nottingham-born A.J. Alan (real name: Leslie Harrison Lambert) was a performing magician, radio ham, volunteer coastguard radio operator, and naval intelligence officer who, at the start of World War II was part of the vital military intelligence effort at Bletchley Park. Prior to the war, he was telling stories on BBC radio and became one of the most popular broadcasting personalities of the time. These stories - light, but often strange and sometimes spooky - were later to be anthologised in ghost story collections such as the Fontana series curated by Robert Aickman, although they were meant to be performed and delivered in the rambling, conversational style Alan had made his own. He died in 1941.   

Archive radio of A.J. Alan is now hard to find, but you can hear some gramophone recordings on the Stars of the Wireless site here: https://rfwilmut.net/wireless/alan.html   

I have tried to recreate the feel of one of those vintage broadcasts with this reading of what is possibly A.J. Alan's most traditional "ghost" story,  "The Diver".  This special episode is intended as a tribute from one Nottingham "radio  ham" to another!

You can read more about A.J. Alan in this informative essay: https://tychy.wordpress.com/2011/04/28/premonitory-tales-from-dickens-signalman-to-the-radio-broadcasts-of-a-j-alan-66/   

More great horror stories are on their way...

"Rats" by M.R. James

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 14:50:32 GMT

A lone traveller staying near the coast in a Suffolk inn becomes curious about the other rooms there...leading him to make a ghastly discovery! This reading of "Rats" by M.R. James is part of the EnCrypted Classic Horror series read by Jasper L'Estrange and featuring evocative music and sound effects.

While  I work on some longer stories (involving, as you might anticipate, longer production times) I thought it prudent to put out a sort of holding episode - not to diminish this story, which is one of its author's finer later works, but to excuse its brevity. Even the narrator calls it an "ill-proportioned" tale! I hope you enjoy it!
