The Ash-Tree

"The Ash-Tree" is a short horror story set at Castringham Hall in Suffolk, where a condemned woman's dying words — "There will be guests at the Hall" — set a curse in motion that spans generations. When Sir Matthew Fell testifies against the witch Mrs Mothersole and she goes to the gallows cursing him, he is dead by the next full moon. Decades later, his grandson Sir Richard ignores old warnings and moves into the very room where his ancestor died — beneath the branches of a great ash-tree that hides something far worse than superstition.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
