Blood! It's blood, I tell you...

Aldeburgh is, as any fan of the traditional ghost story knows, the place where M.R. James set 'A Warning to the Curious'. Well, you'll be pleased to hear that a genuinely eerie phenomenon has occurred there - a public pool has turned blood red. Not, though, because of some ancient curse - it seems they used a cleaning product that goes red in sunlight before dispersing. Well, that's the official story. But it still looks pretty weird.

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
