"The Vanishing House" & "On the Northern Ice" | Narrated by Jasper L'Estrange

Two wintry fireside tales. In “The Vanishing House” by Bernard Capes, a group of travelling musicians are passing the night in a country inn when their banjo player shares a mysterious story about his grandfather. In “On the Northern Ice” by Elia Wilkinson Peattie, a groomsman follows a beautiful skating apparition on his way to a wedding.

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “THE VANISHING HOUSE” by Bernard Capes (1898). “ON THE NORTHERN ICE” by Elia Wilkinson Peattie (1898).

CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that’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 it’s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. You don’t even need to spend the time to tell me about it*

Other things you don't need to tell me about include: a word I've mispronounced (chances are I already know); your politics; the correct denomination of coin to put in a Christmas pudding; if you think the story is "crap" or "boring" (seriously, what's the point of those comments? "Oh, I'll just delete the video then." "I won't read stories *you think are boring any more...") This list is not exhaustive.
