Journey with us into the shadowy world of classic radio drama as we unearth "The Ghostly Hand of Spital House," a forgotten gem narrated by the master of horror himself, Vincent Price.
His haunting voice, with its perfect enunciation and sophisticated delivery, transforms this Yorkshire ghost story into an immersive experience that modern productions rarely capture.
We've discovered that this tale was penned by Dorothy Gladys Spicer, an American folklorist born in 1893 whose work has largely faded from popular memory. As a dedicated collector of traditional stories passed down through generations, Spicer published this ghostly account in her 1965 collection "13 Ghosts."
