EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast

In Reelfoot Lake, a backwoods bayou of the American South, lives an outcast freak – a lonely swamp dweller whose fishy features have earned him a strange moniker. Mystery and local superstition surround him, but when the Baxter brothers seek their revenge will they uncover the truth about the one they call…”Fish Head”. This original recording is an audio presentation (with sound effects and music) by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Fish Head” by Irvin S. Cobb (1913). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a future episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Honest! Next one coming up soon!) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7JYpOrSDoCfvPbjBn6DZGIXDlK-eOzpR).

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. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 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!

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 – Richard Horne – 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 Bowen’s classic tale of cruelty, revenge, and witchcraft. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Keckies” 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 soon…when I’ve finished it!). 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. I’m sure they’ll be happy to meet you. I do accents and voices to help distinguish between characters, but please keep in mind that I’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 sorry…but 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 drama…and 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. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 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!

A Canadian soldier journeys to England in response to an advertisement seeking the heir to his ancestral home Quinton Court.

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).

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.

Hugh Lamb (1946-2019) was a leading authority on vintage ghost and  horror stories. Between 1972 and 1991 his name on the cover of a horror anthology was a sign of quality.

His popular anthologies were most  notable for bringing new and rare stories to attention, including the  discovery of a forgotten M.R. James ghost story.

In this Zoom-recorded conversation, Jasper L'Estrange talks to Richard Lamb, Hugh's son. Richard explains what it was like growing up with an anthologist as a father, what Hugh was like, how he has brought one of his father's unpublished anthologies to life, and about his own adventures in screenwriting.

I hope you enjoy this very special episode of the podcast.

A vintage radio special of EnCrypted Classic Horror, returning once again to the humorously  macabre shaggy dog  stories of A.J. Alan. In "The Hair" (1928), Alan recounts a strange  sequence of events surrounding a box found in an old curiosity shop.

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 - found their way into various 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 COMING VERY SOON...

A winter's night at the Old Boar's Head in Torchester, and a party of  men delight in telling spooky stories to each other. But when one old  gentleman shares the story of the hanged highwayman who supposedly  haunts the place they all become more than a little spooked...

This  is an audio presentation (with music and sound effects) of "Jerry  Bundler" by W.W. Jacobs (1897) - part of this month's selection of  Christmas ghost stories.

"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...

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...
