I hesitate to even mention it given the circs but I overheard a BIZARRE conversation in the Men's Pub. Gonna do some Googling and see what I can find out.
What an entertaining Tiny Christmas you are having 🤣 try not to freak yourself out tonight ! I do it all the time listening to the Uncanny podcast. Whhhhhhy do we do this to ourselves??? 😳 Merry Christmas Eve Melissa x
When I listened yesterday, it was clearly a male voice calling 'Evie', but it did sound like the way you'd call a dog, rather than someone desperately calling for help....
Maybe it was someone calling a reluctant small child???? I'd rather any explanation than the ghostly one....and now I shall worry about you, worrying about the voice....
I enjoyed that. I like to think I’m fairly sensible, but at night in unfamiliar surroundings I can easily scare myself shitless, especially if I was on my own.
We recently stayed in a chalet on a cliff top in Cornwall, out of the 5 chalets there we were the only one occupied and it was very quiet indeed at night. I didn’t sleep well until I knew what every creak and clonk was, fridge turning on and off, wind rattling the extractor fan flaps, you name it. Final straw was waking suddenly to a slight noise by the bedroom window and our normally laid back dog rushing to the front door barking hysterically. Next morning the lawn was all dug up so I assumed the scary nocturnal visitor was a hungry badger. I’m almost 75 but I still let my overactive imagination get the better of me sometimes. Hope you have a peaceful night and a happy Christmas Day.
Haha, I can picture this so clearly! Here, the fridge buzzes, the bathroom door clicks, there's a skylight that rattles, the wind roars in the chimneys (calm now) and there's some other knocking noise I can't identify. Ah well, old houses!
Yesterday when I listened to the man calling for his dog it sounded like "Phoebe". But after reading the story I'm hearing the ghost of Thom calling over and over for "Evie" 😱
Earlier I dithered over whether he was calling for Phoebe or Hebe but decided that he was unlikely to be calling for a shrub on a cliff top. Now I know different and he was calling for Evie.
Hello just to say how much I’m enjoying your writing. I’m rooting for you in the men’s pub, you scoring 180 at darts and then trashing all comers at pool.
Actually SNORTED with laughter at that modern interpretation of the story! I agree! Totally sick of his shit!! 😂

And to you!

EXACTLY. Though no long drawn out 'Eeeeeeeevie' or whistling for her, I guess.

CERTAINLY didn’t see a child on the beach.
Hope you have a brilliant night in the mens pub! Can’t wait to hear about it! 😊 x
Men's pub was terrible, though I did overhear a very interesting conversation!
Tell us more! 🤣
I'm not going to sleep AFTER READING THESE COMMENTS

I am teetering on the edge of exactly this.

OK this is actually scaring me slightly
Oh don't you start.

Oh my gosh ! Yes, I'm laughing yet haunted at the same time 🤣😳😩
I REFUSE TO BE KILLED BY A SMUGGLER GHOST ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Oh my god DON’T. 😱😱😱
I've just gone back and listened again, and you know....it *could* be Evie 😬
Oh Melissa, it was definitely Evie! M. R. James would be taking notes. Also, Rob says he didn't hear anything ......
Feeling a bit weird about all this now! Insomnia not helping... ah well. Merry Christmas!
Glad to see you made it through the night! Merry Christmas x

I do actually know a teenage girl called Hebe, but I am now a convert to Evie 😬
I CAN’T LISTEN NOW, I’M AT THE PUB
oh god oh god
Part of my wants you to ask if anyone else has ever heard it and part of me VERY MUCH DOESN'T 😱
No way am I asking people at the #MensPub
*me not my. I am apparently too freaked to type 🙄
