Swings by Adam Thorpe

Available for 22 days

"Yes, the ghosts you see at night, they're the souls - the auras, if you like - of good people who didn't deserve to die. That's why they're full of regret, and frightening. Ghosts we see in broad daylight are the ones whose death were right and fair - they've been redeemed by death. They were evil while alive..." Series of commissioned stories aiming to present ghosts or ghostly happenings in the cold light of day. Will something 'unexplained' be as as scary then? Adam Thorpe's tale is read by Kenneth Cranham. Producer: Duncan Minshull First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2011.
