    "The Moonlit Road"

    Tonight’s author, Ambrose Bierce, has a personal history almost as strange as any of his tales. In 1913, Bierce told reporters that he was travelling to Mexico to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution. He disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.

    "The Transferred Ghost"

    Tonight’s story, “The Transferred Ghost” by Frank R. Stockton, is important in the history of ghost stories and the literature of haunting because it is so remarkably different from our modern conception of ghost stories as horror.

    "Hand in Glove"

    Elizabeth Bowen was an Anglo-Irish author notable for her books about the lives of Irish landed Protestants, as well as her fiction about life in wartime London. In 1930, Bowen became the first (and only) woman to inherit Bowen's Court, a historic country house near Kildorrery in County Cork, Ireland, but remained based in England, making frequent visits to Ireland.

    "Touch and Go"

    Welcome back to All Things Eerie. The very best short stories of tonight’s author, Herman Cyril McNeile, also known as Sapper, are those in which the reader’s expectations are neatly, ingeniously, and very swiftly upended in the last sentences, frequently in the last few words. Although it is doubtful that Sapper believed in the supernatural, on the odd occasion he revealed a talent for making the flesh creep in some notable weird tales. Tonight’s story, “Touch and Go,” is less implausible than some of his yarns, and rather more grisly. We come, this evening, to a strange crossroads of science and superstition. The issue at hand is whether stress, fear, or any of a number of unpleasant experiences are enough, in themselves, to make a person’s hair turn white. We who travel in ghostly and ghastly circles all know someone who knows someone who knows someone to whom this has happened.

    "The Witch of Fife"

    Scottish folklore is full to the brim of exciting stories about otherworldly beings – be they fairies, sprites, pixies, brownies, or actual ghosts –the Scots love them all. Tonight’s story, “The Witch of Fife,” tells the story of a husband whose interest in his wife’s private affairs has dangerous and terrifying consequences.
