Welcome back to the horror. Thanks for joining me. Once again we're gonna hear from Beyond Midnight this week, a South African series that aired over Springbok Radio. This episode aired June 27, 1969. It's titled the House. It's an adaptation of Henry James's story the Ghostly Rental that he first published in 1876. Here's Beyond Midnight.

I was in my 22nd year and I just left college. I was free to choose a career, might use it too quickly afterwards, I abandoned it with great speed. But I've never regretted the two years I spent in Cambridge as a student of divinity. Cambridge for the lovers of woods and trees has changed for the worse since those days, of course. But I remember the Cambridge I want to remember. One grey December afternoon I went to the town of Medford. I was late in starting back for my lodgings and as dusk was falling, I came to a narrow road I did not recognize. I was about three miles away from home and I reckoned the road offered me as good a shortcut as any. The road was obviously seldom used. The wheeled ruts looked old and after 10 minutes walking I came to the house. And so began one of the strangest and for a time one of the most terrifying episodes in the whole of my life. Biotechs the New Soak and Pre Wash Powder presents Beyond Midnight by Michael McCabe.
