In 1914 Arthur Machen published “The Bowmen”, a patriotic supernatural tale intended to boost the morale of British soldiers fighting in the trenches and those at home who had heard reports of the horrors of warfare. However, much to his consternation, Machen’s story was taken as fact by a public who desperately wanted to believe and spawned the legend of The Angels of Mons. His 1915 short story “Out of the Earth” deals with the aftermath of “The Bowmen” controversy, exploring the ways that myths and stories can take on a life of their own by examining some peculiar happenings along part of the Welsh coast. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Bowmen” by Arthur Machen (1914) and “Out of the Earth” by Arthur Machen (1915). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a forthcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem. CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that’s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. There are many narrators who don’t do this and they will be delighted to meet you. I try to do different voices just because I think it helps differentiate between characters when you’re listening. Apologies if I don’t nail every accent. You knew what I was going for, and at least I gave you a laugh. Apologies if I accidentally used a WW2 gun for my WW1 sound effects. Apologies if I said some of the Welsh things wrong. It’s hard, you know. The stories I read on this channel come from another time, many decades ago. If some of the ideas, beliefs, sentiments, and language upsets you, try and forgive them…as you will expect to be forgiven by the people judging you ten years from now. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

Two debauched noblemen seek refuge in the cottage of Goody Boyle one stormy night. When they find out that her home is the last resting place of a mutual enemy – Richard Horne – and his corpse is in the next room, they decide to play a diabolical joke. But just who will have the last laugh in Marjorie Bowen’s classic tale of cruelty, revenge, and witchcraft. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Keckies” by Marjorie Bowen (1925). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to the next episode (17) of The EnCrypted Postmortem (uploaded soon…when I’ve finished it!). CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that’s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it’s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I’m sure they’ll be happy to meet you. I do accents and voices to help distinguish between characters, but please keep in mind that I’m not Michael Sheen or Meryl Streep, nor have I ever claimed to be. Sometimes when I voice a female character, I will raise the pitch of my voice. If this upsets you, I am sorry…but imagine how confusing it would be if all my female characters sounded like the baritones in a male voice choir. These are recorded by a rank amateur using substandard equipment in a room with appalling equipment. If this upsets you, please send money so I can buy better equipment and a new house. Finally, I try and pronounce all words correctly, but, like you, I am not a walking dictionary and encyclopedia. Think of my mistakes and idiosyncrasies as a charming reminder that you are listening to an actual human who has tried to imbue his narration with personality and drama…and not a soulless AI-generated voice. EDITORIAL NOTE: I made a slight amend to the text because I believe there was a point in the original where it was unclear which character was speaking. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!

The resident of a rundown boarding house becomes intrigued when a familiar face comes seeking a room. The man has returned from South America with a strange story and even stranger cargo. But will it be his undoing…? This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Black Stone Statue” by Mary Elizabeth Counselman (1937). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to episode 13 of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Due to various issues episodes 12 and 13 will be delayed.) NOTE: My recordings are intended to be an immersive experience featuring music and sound effects. If you don’t like these elements, there are plenty of narration channels that don’t have them and they’d love to hear from you. This is a hobby/side hustle. I’m an amateur at sound recording and production but I do my best to make something listenable. I do voices to differentiate between characters but I’m not a professional voice actor or narrator. Some of these stories are old and contain words and attitudes you might not like. They do not necessarily represent the views of…well…me. Sometimes a pet dog or cat will die. Horribly. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!
