Gibbet Hill | Bram Stoker Horror Stories

In "Gibbet Hill," a narrator visits the beautiful but historically grim Hind Head area, finding solace in nature before encountering three unsettling children—two Indian girls and a fair-haired boy—near a memorial stone for a murdered sailor. Intrigued yet unnerved by their strange questions and the boy's fascination with worms, he later spies on them performing a bizarre snake-charming ritual where a snake seemingly answers their questions before collapsing. His unease escalates dramatically when the children later ambush him at dusk, bind him, and terrorize him with a knife until he faints, only to be woken later by a couple who dismiss his condition as exposure, unaware of the attack until a large blindworm emerges from his clothes, confirming the chilling reality of his encounter with the seemingly innocent children.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
