Episode 59: "Jerry Bundler" by W.W. Jacobs

 

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.
