This is a story from the Classic Ghost Stories collection.
Ghost stories continue to be a popular audiobook genre, and this group of four stories brings together some of the best. Reader Stephen Critchelow has spent a lifetime collecting and reading works like these and, with carefully chosen music, brings a strong sense of atmosphere to the recordings.

Narrator Stephen Critchelow's unaffected performance starts off on an innocuous note but he steadily increases the dread and eeriness of Charles Dickens' ghost story to great effect. A man reads about a murder in the newspaper only to begin having visions of the murder scene and of the ghost of the victim. Critchelow's descriptions of the apparition are spine-chillingly vivid, and his pacing will have hairs rising on listeners' napes as the ghost continues to haunt the man - who becomes a juror for the murder trial - and those around him.
