Hi Monsieur L'Estrange 👋 (I love that name 😁). Came back for another listen. It should have been called Les Yeux Sans Visage 😉. Billy Idol's song would have been an appropriate backdrop, too. But that piano piece was haunting and lovely. Thank you, you do such awesome work 👏 😀 😊 👍 🙌. Wouldn't it be terrifying if the quality of people's souls were reflected in their countenance?
@@waningmooncancer9628 Oh wow. I know this comment is a year old, but had to react to the idea of seeing the quality of a person's soul reflected in their face. What an idea that is for a story involving a legend or myth! I imagine it as literal, in which case people's expressions would be kind of strangely inverted as the reflection comes from within. And you can't hide it. 😮
@thehangingparsiple5692 People without empathy are disabled from seeing beyond what is presented. I don't believe it is at all outlandish to "see" with gut intuition, and pick up the truth of a person. If you haven't already figured it out, I'm weird 🙃😁😊
@@waningmooncancer9628 I rather enjoy reading your weird comments! I agree about gut instinct most definitely. I always remember as a child how I never liked or trusted one particular friend of my parents. I didn't know why. This friend would sometimes babysit me and my brother, but I wouldn't stay in the same room as her when she did. I was very young, but had I been older I still wouldn't have been able to put my finger on what it was about her, because she was very quiet and kind to be honest. we all know what they say about children and animals having sixth sense...well it later turned out this friend had served time in the past for violent crime and two serious assaults!
Perfect cadence and tempo of speech, music adding just the right scaling of dread and anxiety. A beautiful voice is empty without emotion. This was impeccable.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to have come across this channel for the first time because I have so many stories to listen to. Thank you so much I’m enjoying every story and the narrator.
Between high school and college I hade four full years of learning French. I felt confident I could communicate well enough to order a salad and a bottle of mineral water from the cafe next door to my hotel. 😂 "Here is the fütball and the cat is in the gentleman's toilet just as Madame requested...yes?
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. Some people don't appreciate high quality storytelling/production/narration. You can believe that I will be spreading the word about your channel.
Loved it! I can’t help but think this story could be used to create an awesome psychologically suspenseful movie. (think, “The Others”2001, with Nicole Kidman)🤣🤗🤣
To be honest, there are quite a few stories I've covered here that, to my knowledge, have never even been adapted for TV and a few of them could be expanded into terrific films. Maybe one day... "The Others" is a classic.
Yes I haven't seen that name in a while what a beautifully written story that person always writes beautifully and it's a good story I enjoy the characters even though there are only a couple it's drawn up very well
Oh my God! That was fantastic! I loved it and you sound like a different man when you do the French accent- many people do great French accents but you actually became French! I’m perfectly sober and serious! Great story too! Thank you 🙏
I'll admit it's one thing doing a couple of lines in a French accent, another reading several paragraphs. I just had to channel my inner Inspector Clouseau and plough through it 😄
What great work you are doing! There is a huge range of exciting stories to draw from on your channel. You are also a very prolific creator, getting a handful out every week! I envy your ability to produce them at such a high rate. Hmm...perhaps we should collaborate some time! Hee hee.
Another exquisite production for one of the quintessence horror authors of the ages! Always love some Burrage- great job & story choice, Jasper. And quite the eye-catching thumbnail picture...
A subtle and unsettling tale ..the theme of a vengeful female spirit must be universal..have you happened upon kuchisake onna a Japanese legend? One who sees is all the better for its offstage element,no death this time but a Lingering....
wonderful acting. enjoyed the story much - your way of speaking works so well and you do it perfectly without a break anywhere. it’s also nice to hear a completely unknown story of the genre. so i’m subscribing and look forward to your other readings. you’d be so good at any kind of dramatic story. :) 🌷🌱
Thank you for subscribing, Alexa. This show takes up a big chunk of my spare time, but I enjoy it so much I have wondered whether I should do a non-horror companion channel. Maybe one day 😄
Has anyone bothered or been compelled to consider the parallels between St. JOAN and the garden Dame? The burning, the changed Visage or countenance after death..? I don't know, having only begun and not Catholic, if I'm chasing after shadows which are not there or not but thought it'd be interesting to consider
I'd say, given the specicifity of the locale, Burrage meant to connect the two. I suppose Joan (described in the story as the greatest woman who ever lived?) is a contrast to the woman without a face who was wicked and also committed the sin of suicide...
@@EnCryptedHorror yes that’s the most I could make of it- I don’t find anything of the author suggesting he would have any reason to hold a dislike toward Miss Of Arc’s character, and I am not sure but I think writers of the era were less inclined (if at all) to inject their own political or theological conjectures or opinions into their work, a la Dan Brown
Unfortunately A.M. Burrage is no longer around to consult so you'll have to have my take 😄... When he was beckoned to see the weeping lady on the bench she revealed her mutilated, disfigured face and presumably touched or embraced him, and laughed. He never recovered from the shock.
