  • "The Fifteenth Green" by Margery Lawrence
    May 24 2024
    Invited to share his story at Saunderson’s Round Table, a golfer provides a terrifying account of an old fisherman, a vengeful curse, and the mystery of The Fifteenth Green… This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Fifteenth Green” by Margery Lawrence (from “Nights of the Round Table”, 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). CREATOR’S NOTE: My recordings contain a mixture of audio narration, sound effects, and music…because that’s what I like to make and listen to. It’s not everyone’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 I’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 didn’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). 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 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 Wood of Living Trees" by G. Ranger Wormser
    May 11 2024
    From the moment Manners is first introduced to a charismatic Russian named Andreyvich, he develops an intense distrust of the man. But why does he feel they have met before? And what is the dark secret of The Wood of Living Trees? This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Wood of Living Trees” by G Ranger Wormser (first published 1918). 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). 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. If that’s not your thing, seek out other creators on YouTube. They will be delighted to make your acquaintance. I also do character voices to differentiate between characters. If this is likely to disturb you, again look elsewhere. The stories I read are very old and sometimes contain attitudes and language you might find upsetting. They didn’t know any better, just as you don’t know what future generations will find objectionable about the things you say and do. Keep that in mind and enjoy instead a fascinating glimpse into a time gone by. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 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!
