Those Nights in January [Plus Commentary]

About this episode

A horror story about a man haunted by the past in his empty house, followed by commentary from the host.

A horror story about a man who lives in a large, empty house where he is haunted by the sounds and voices of the past. It all starts one night when he hears the creaky old swing in the yard make a sound by itself. He refuses to accept (or do anything about) what is lurking in the house. What would you do in his situation? After the story, we have a short commentary section where Edwin gives you some additional background of the story and reads and responds to some of the comments on our last story, Soup Mondays.
