1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to Unexplained Extra with me Richard McClane Smith, where

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: for the weeks in between episodes, we look at stories

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: and ideas that, for one reason or other, didn't make

4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: it into the previous show. In last week's episode, The

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Cold Black Cloud, we heard the chilling tale of the

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: so called Runcorn Thing. We're back in nineteen fifty two,

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the Jones and Glynn family of number one Byron Street

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: in Runcorn, in the northwest of England were apparently harassed

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: by a terrifying poltergeist. For me writing these stories, peculiar

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: events like this are about as good as it gets

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: for Unexplained, With multiple participants and numerous locations all seemingly

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: linked by this strange and unnerving event. The involvement of

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Richard Whittington Egan, who at the time was a well

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: known chronicler of true crime and the history of the

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: local area, was an added bonus, not least of all

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: because he provides me with the useful, if somewhat stretched

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: segue into this week's extra. In twenty sixteen, Whittington Egan

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: published a biography of Eliot O'Donnell titled The Master ghost Hunter.

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: As a writer of numerous works of fiction spanning a

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: variety of genres. It was mostly for his work chronicling

21
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: apparent real life ghost stories that O'Donnell became most renowned.

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Born in eighteen seventy two in Clifton in the southwest

23
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: of England, by the nineteen tens, O'Donnell had established himself

24
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: as a leading figure in what was becoming an increasingly

25
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: popular genre. O'Donnell wrote widely about all manner of apparent

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: hauntings in Britain and the United States, but there was

27
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: one story, or rather location, for which he had a

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: particular soft spot. The place, a mid terrorist George townhouse

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: in London's Berkeley Square, is often referred to as quite

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: simply the most haunted house in London. It was as

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: a schoolboy that O'Donnell first apparently visited the property, making

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: his way to it alone through the dark and grimy

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: streets of Victorian London, feeling not so much that it

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: was his choice, but more that the house was somehow

35
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: summoning him to its door. On arrival, he was struck

36
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: by its grim and tattered fasart that stuck out immediately

37
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: amongst its more sophisticated neighbors, even then, Berkeley Square was

38
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: one of the most exclusive locations in the capital. But

39
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: something seemed to have infected this particular property of rot,

40
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: that had seemingly seeped into the brick and would not

41
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: let go. It was easy to see how it had

42
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: garnered its unnerving reputation, and for the young schoolboy standing

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: in its sadow and gazing up but its four stories

44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: of darkened, dusty windows, the sense of something heavy pulling

45
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: at him from inside it. There was absolutely no doubt

46
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: that the rumors about it were true. Having been completed

47
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: in seventeen fifty fifty, Berkeley Square began life as the

48
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: home of one General Frampton. However, it wasn't until the

49
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: late nineteenth century that the properties apparently haunted reputation is

50
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: thought to have been established. How and why this reputation

51
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: took hold is not entirely clear. Writing in the Quarterly

52
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Journal Notes and Queries in November eighteen seventy two, Lord

53
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Lyttleton said, of the ominous abode, it is quite true

54
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: there is a house in Berkeley Square said to be

55
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: haunted and long unoccupied. On that account, there are strained

56
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: stories about it into which this opponent cannot enter. Then,

57
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: in eighteen seventy nine, one journalist writing in Mayfair magazine

58
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: made a startling revelation stating the house in Berkeley Square

59
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: contains at least one room, of which the atmosphere is

60
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: supernaturally fatal to body and mind alike. A girl saw, heard,

61
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and felt such horror in it that she went mad

62
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: and never recovered sanity enough to tell how or why.

63
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: A gentleman, a disbeliever in ghosts, dared to sleep in

64
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: it and was found a corpse in the middle of

65
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: the floor after frantically ringing for help in vain. Rumors

66
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: suggest other cases of the same kind, all ending in death, madness,

67
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: or both as the result of sleeping or trying to

68
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: sleep in that room. The very party walls of the house,

69
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: when touched, are found saturated with electric horror. The writer continued.

70
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: It is uninhabited save by an elderly man and woman

71
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: who act as care takers, but even they have no

72
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: access to the room that is kept locked and the

73
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: key kept in the hands of a mysterious and seemingly

74
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: nameless person who comes to the house once every six months,

75
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: locks up the elderly people in the basement, and occupies

76
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: himself in it for hours, all of which writer Eliot

77
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: O'Donnell would later lap up with great enthusiasm. As his

78
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: fascination for the property and its haunted tales intensifight, he

79
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: became an advocate for its haunted status, taking any opportunity

80
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: he could to promote it. Many dismissed the stories, claiming

81
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: that they were simply the invention of a disgruntled caretaker

82
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: of the time who was keen to determine people from

83
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: buying the property. Others believed they stemmed from stories relating

84
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to one specific owner, an apparently eccentric recluse who let

85
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the property fall into disrepair. The man, described as being

86
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: tall with a haggard appearance, apparently only ever used one

87
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: room of the house, but was said to sometimes be

88
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: seen wandering the other rooms at night, taking with him

89
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: a candle to light the way. If seen from the street,

90
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: it is easy to see how this strange, unknown figure,

91
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: glimpsed only as a silhouette through flickers of soft orange light,

92
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: could have been mistaken for something more ominous. O'Donnell counted

93
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: all this, however, with a number of stories he collated

94
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: over the years, each of which gave a little more

95
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: flesh to the bones of the rumors, and there was

96
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: one story above all that seemed to lend them particular weight.

97
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: It was on one late midwinter night sometime in the

98
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: mid nineteenth century that two sailors recorded only as Mick

99
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: and Bill found themselves aimlessly wandering the streets of London

100
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: after a night of heavy drinking. With no money and

101
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: only a half drunk bottle of rum left a share

102
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: between them. As the air grew increasingly icy, the pair

103
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: began to hunt around desperately for somewhere to shelter for

104
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: the night. After plodding the streets for hours, they eventually

105
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: ended up at Berkeley Square. When they spotted of the

106
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: sale sign outside one particularly darkened townhouse on the square's

107
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: western side. Bill suggested they try and find a way

108
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: into it, having failed to open any of the ground

109
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: floor windows, The men converged on the front doorstep and

110
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: stared up at the large brass door knocker that glinted

111
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: in the moonlight the number fifty painted in gold on

112
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: the glass paneling above it. After giving each other a

113
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: conspiratorial look, the pair quickly glanced about the square to

114
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: make sure they were alone. Then at the count of

115
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: three gave the door a hefty shove. With a muffled crack,

116
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: The door inched open, and the men pushed through into

117
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: the house, Relieved to be finally out of the wind.

118
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Mick quickly closed the door behind them and lit a match,

119
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: revealing a grand stone hallway with a wide stairwell at

120
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: the end of it. With the thick smell of damp

121
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: in the air, the pair decided to find somewhere upstairs

122
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: where they could light a fire for warmth. Having spied

123
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: a dresser in one of the rooms, the men quickly

124
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: dismantled it for firewood. Then, along with some ripped up

125
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: skirting and strips of wallpaper, they carried it all to

126
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: a small back room on the second floor. After bundling

127
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: some of the wood into the rusty fire grate, the

128
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: men was soon basking in the glow of a small fire,

129
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: sat huddled together on the floor as they cheerily passed

130
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: the bottle of rum between themselves. Having soon grown tired,

131
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: the men eventually bed it down for the night. It

132
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: was some time later when Bill woke with a start

133
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: to find the fire had all but burned out. Bill

134
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: tossed some more wood onto it as He shivered in

135
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: the dark, his breath billowing out in clouds before him. Then,

136
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: just as he was about to lie down again, he

137
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: heard the faint sound of something banging from somewhere deep

138
00:09:51,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: in the recesses of the house. As Bill listened carefully

139
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: trying to establish where exactly the sound was coming from,

140
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: Mick stirred beside him and then opened his eyes. What

141
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: is it, he asked, Listen, said Bill, pointing to his ear.

142
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: Then the sound came again, like something heavy being knocked

143
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: against a wall. It's just the front door, suggested Mick. However,

144
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: with both of them too tired and cold to move,

145
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: neither were particularly keen on going down to fix it.

146
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: But as they lay down once more to sleep, they

147
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: soon became aware of a second sound, something softer like

148
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: footsteps that seemed to be making their way up the stairs.

149
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: Mick and Bill looked anxiously to each other. What if

150
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: it was a police officer coming to inspect the property,

151
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: they thought, But something in the footsteps seemed to suggest otherwise.

152
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: It was hard to put their finger on it exactly.

153
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: It was almost as if the steps didn't have any

154
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: weight to them or the While the sound drew nearer,

155
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: approaching up the stairs and on to the landing, before

156
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: eventually stopping outside the door of their room. Who's there,

157
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: they cried, but there was no reply. Then the rattling

158
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: of the door handle was followed by the creak of

159
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: the hinges as the door was slowly pushed open. When

160
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: the police discovered Bill some hours later, he was found

161
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: lying on the pavement outside the house, babbling incoherently. After

162
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: finally coming round, he explained all to the officers about

163
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: how he and Mick had broken into the property and

164
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: about the hideous, unnameable thing that had attacked them in it.

165
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Bill had somehow managed to run past the thing and

166
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: escape out the door as he heard Mix's screams coming

167
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: down the hall behind him. He didn't know where Mick

168
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: was and had been too scared to go back inside.

169
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Sometime later, Bill accompanied the police on a search of

170
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: the property, where in the back yard they found Mick's

171
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: dead body lying in a pool of blood, surrounded by

172
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: shards of glass, his neck hideously broken from the fall,

173
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: and above the huge splintered hole in the second floor

174
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: window from where he had evidently jumped. Eliot O'Donnell recounted

175
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: the story of Bill and Mick the Sailors in his

176
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two book Ghosts of London, but as Yan Bondison,

177
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: in an article in the Christmas twenty fifteen edition of

178
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: The forteen Times magazine pointed out, he had also given

179
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the story in his nineteen twenty four book Ghosts Helpful

180
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: and Harmful, and had in fact been telling the story

181
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: since at least as far back as nineteen oh eight,

182
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: the main problem with this being that it had changed

183
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: significantly with each telling. The story began at first as

184
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: a simple tale of two sailors being scared out at

185
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the property by some kind of phantom, before evolving to

186
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: become a story about two sailors called Bert and Charlie, who, again,

187
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: although being horrifically scarred by the incident, was still both

188
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: fortunate to escape with their lives. By the nineteen thirty

189
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: two retelling, however, Bert and Charlie had morphed again, this

190
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: time to Bill and Mick, with the latter not being

191
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: so fortunate. All of which suggests, of course, that O'Donnell

192
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: made the whole thing up, or at least embellished an

193
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: earlier tale which most likely had no substance to it today.

194
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: Fifty Berkeley Square, which up until twenty fifteen was home

195
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: to the antiquarian bookstore Mags Brothers, remains the subject of

196
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: many ghost related stories. None, however, it seems, have been

197
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: verified by anyone who's actually lived or worked at the property,

198
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: all of whom claimed not to have seen or experienced

199
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: anything untoward. In truth. As well suggested earlier, the stories

200
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: seemed to stem from the impression taken of the house

201
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: and the so called eccentric man who occupied it in

202
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the late nineteenth century, as opposed to any genuine recording

203
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: of supernatural events. It is said that the man Thomas Myers,

204
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: took ownership of the property sometime around eighteen sixty with

205
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: the intention of making it a home for himself and

206
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: his fiancee. Only days before the two were due to

207
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: get married, however, Thomas's fiance broke up with him, leaving

208
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: him to live in the house alone. Myers is said

209
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: to have been so devastated as a result that he

210
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: became a recluse, employing two house servants to look after

211
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: him while he remained mostly cocooned within the walls of

212
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: only one room, not even having the energy to unwrap

213
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: the carpets and furniture he'd ordered for himself and his

214
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: one time future wife. As a result, the house fell

215
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: steadily into disrepair, leaving it with the gloomy, disheveled air

216
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: that it was later to become known for, and which

217
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: would prove such fertile ground for the belief that it

218
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: was indeed haunted by ghoulish and malignant specters. Instead, like

219
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: so many ghost stories, its walls were not haunted by

220
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: something physical, but the abstract, yet very real pain of heartbreak.
