Classic Ghost StoriesAuthor: Tony Walker
A weekly podcast that reads out ghost stories, horror stories, and weird tales every week. Classic stories from the pens of the masters Occasionally, we feature living authors, but the majority are dead. Some perhaps are undead. We go from cosy Edwardian ghost stories (E. F. Benson, Walter De La Mare) to Victorian supernatural mysteries (M. R. James, Elizabeth Gaskell, Bram Stoker, and Charles Dickens) to 20th-century Weird Tales (Robert Aickman, Fritz Lieber, Clark Ashton-Smith, and H. P. Lovecraft) and wander from the Gothic to the Odd, even to the Literary, and then back again. Each episode is followed by Tony's take on the story, its author, its content and any literary considerations, which may be useful to students!

The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson
Friday, 21 November, 2025
In Ireland, a newly purchased castle unsettles its American owner. He is wealthy, engaged to a local woman, and certain that jealous countrymen mean him harm. What truly threatens the household is a particular room that fills at night with a dangerous, sustained whistling that rises and falls like breath. Doors quiver; servants keep away. Carnacki is summoned with his lamps, his electric scepticism and his knowledge of spirit manifestations. He investigates, seals the room, warns no one to enter and admits himself stumped. At least at first! “The Whistling Room” was first published in 1910 and later collected in Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder (1913).UK publisher: Eveleigh Nash. William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was an English writer of sea horrors and visionary weird fiction.A former merchant sailor, he served in the First World War and was killed near Ypres.
