    Finally made it to the end! (It takes me a while as I generally listen to these as I'm falling asleep.) This was a deeply intriguing and impressively clever tale, as I've come to expect from you. Well done, Mr. Gordon! 👏👏👏

    “I will even affirm; for these things all played a part in the single hideous scene which remains burned into my shaken recollection. But of what followed, and of the reason I was found alone and dazed on the edge of the swamp next morning, I must insist that I know nothing save what I have told you over and over again….” Keep up the good work fella and lass and stay safe.

    Second time through and just realised I didn't comment after the first time. IAN this is a masterpiece. It is totally enthralling start to finish, so glad I didn't have to wait for episodes and could just binge it all at once 😂 You're the first youtube channel for classic horror stories I discovered, and still my go-to on a sleepless night, or at home drinking theraflu haha. Your narrations are flawless and can distract me from just about anything. You pick the best stories, and the ones you write are justifiably quite comfy among the classics. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO

    Fantastic story and narration. It is very well-written. That ending..... It hit me like a haymaker! I really like it. Well done, my friend. This is truly enjoyable. I really like the way you talk when you are voicing someone who is "interviewed" or being recorded. The listener hears the person sigh, whince, swallow, clack their teeth, smack their lips, etc. It is awesome.

    This was the best series of stories that I've ever listened to. I love how each story slowly came together at the end only to create more mystery. Despite that strangeness and absolute fear I feel especially in the first story I felt kinda outside myself too. Cheers and thankyou so much for this exciting experience xo

    DUUUUUDE!! Wow! Ian and Jennifer, y’all just keep getting better and better. I applaud you for this totally amazing, interesting, surprising, and thoroughly creepy story! I truly LOVED this one :) I’ve got my Dad and little brother addicted to HorrorBabble now too haha. **Little bit of feedback, if I may: The sound design on this one seemed a bit wonky. I don’t know if it was intended or if it was just because I was listening in my car, but the volume differences between scenes/chapters was sometimes jarring. Small issue though, and overall this might have been one of your best! Keep it up y’all and thanks for everything you do!!!
