Green Holly by Elizabeth Bowen  

your post-tale ramblings are as enjoyable as the stories themselves. like the great disc jockeys of the late night in the sixties...those ghost-like beings, those disembodied voices haunted the darkness and befriended the lonely.

You are the best narrator of stories on here. And singing too! There's no end to your talents!

Happy Christmas Tony, you have kept me entertained all year, blessings

An interesting tale. It's not common that we get a story from the ghost's point of view.

Whooo! You posted this just as I was about to have a panic attack! Thanks, you rescued my day.

Thank you, Tony of the Glitterati!

Have heard this before amidst your compilation will listen again. Kindest wishes to you, all you love and followers worldwide 🙏🏻♥️🕊️🌲⚖️

Also this time around. Thanks so much, Tony. Love your vivid,expressive narration; entertaining, informative "ramblings"

Oh Tony! You are a love! As i recover from a dangerous war with Covid and clots in my lungs....I won the war! I think??? or a holy ghost is writing you!!?? Ive been so out of it that I haven't listened for a couple of months. I so adore the reading of the Ghostly stories. I think this has to be my most favorite. Even more so, that I can relate to your after story of the author and of your thoughts of such! Yes! I too adore Christmas. My Christmas wish is that I one day meet you! I would sing my heart out.....just to hear and see you live! Happy Christmas to you, and your family. I too have read many bios on our 20's little "spit fire" with her bob cut. I'm back and grateful to be listening once again! I have many friends in Marin county that I have shared your tube with. We all love you ❤️ love from Yolanda the singer of South American music in Oakland, CA US of well, you know....... 🥰

Excellent story and reading.

Thank you so much Tony!

Thank you for these wonderful Christmas stories!

Great job, both you and the author. The plotting was very original, not following the formulaic rules of the average ghost story. Truly original (and I’ve listened to virtually your entire catalog on RU-vid).

Thanks as always Tony, you spoil us for any other channel. This was so poignantly atmospheric. There they stew in their purgatory while others inhabit their own; feather boas and pearl studs don't make it any less eternal. I'm glad that you don't have to be the body snatcher so often now, putting on those wounded skins must get so tiring. Christmas in Australia can be its own ghost story. The still heat of a sweltering afternoon, silent except for the shrill of cicadas, the buzz of a trapped blowfly in the window. No smell of pudding spices, but a faint reek of prawn husks, and cold ham left in the sun. Not a soul stirring as the thermometer tops 38C...

Perfect way to get my head round to feeling the energy of Christmas! Loved it! ✨🌟

Another great story thank you

A great story made better by your excellent reading. Thank you!

Great reading! Thank you.

I didn't 'read' it that way at all! Good job I listened again. I thought that they were house servants, and that They were the ghosts at the end but.

Hooray!

I can borrow my mom’s puppy, EMMIE, she’s an ADORABLE 5lb. MIKI (a new breed & her first “familiar”, her first bonded animal & in her 70’s! EMMIE is a very good little pup-pup; she adores my mom! She enlightens our home life & gives my mom a “new baby/child” to care for, communicate with, & is a GREAT bridge to communicating/socializing with young kids (she is a retired teacher so she loves kids & I’ve chosen not to have kids to offer more life source to plants & animals), other dog owners, & our local haunts! She is amazing! And has taught me to interact with dogs more, since, traditionally, I’ve always been a solid cat person! Anyway, I didn’t quite connect with this story. It’s a bit vague & hard to grasp, the first time; I’ll have to listen again & see if it might make more sense to me tomorrow. This full moon has given me SERIOUSLY VIVID DREAMS! Very deep unconscious workouts & while exhausting & intense, I am grateful & enjoy the self discovery/unveiling of the archetypal components within the dream works! I wonder if others are also getting fed from the side of their deep sleep psyche? Anyone else? Tony, Brilliant as always! Much obliged. Love the festivities & decorations & presents & presence of the winter holiday spirits! Cheers! ☕️🫖🥠…🍷…🍾🥂❣️

Thank you, dear friend. Hello from Moscow. Shared with my friends. Merry Christmas. Stay warm!

Have you come across a tale called 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W.Jacobs? First appeared in the Harper monthly in 1902. Love to hear you read it.

U gotta consummate that relationship😅. Wonder want Kinsey has to say about that. Probably something! Her books sound fun.

Just found your channel! This reading was very well done and love how you analyzed the meaning behind the story at the end! Looks like you read a lot of stories by my favorite classic horror story authors!Subscribed and look forward to hearing more! ;)

TS 8:00 another *Tony ditty* 🎼🎶🎼

This one somehow reminds me of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"...the barbs, the resentment - even tho ghost, who in the movie is "Daddy".

👍💕

Have you done "The Demon Lover" yet?

Druids always made their magic wands from holly wood ! 🪄

My nan's name was bowen..

How do we find the discord?

I find it weird the British only tell ghost stories, at Christmas! Ludicrous.

Boring 😢
