Youngsters love stories that scare them - but not too much! Here are spooky classics from the pens of three masters in which chills and laughter are mixed together with wisdom and wit. Bringing all three stories alive is master storyteller Jim Weiss. Oscar Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost" was a medieval English lord whose haunting has terrified visitors to his castle for centuries. When a down-to-earth American family, unimpressed with either ghosts or aristocrats, moves in, the shocks begin for the Americans, the ghost and for us. Wilde turned his unmatched wit on people of both countries in this renowned ghost story telling that will "haunt" your memory for years to come.
We've all said, "If I'd known then what I know now..." In "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," a wise old doctor offers a youth potion to his elderly friends. Will they learn from their past mistakes as they once again become young? Nathaniel Hawthorne, master of the plot twist and keen observer of human nature creates a situation that young and old will want to think about.
Finally, Rudyard Kipling offers a rollicking tale of a haunting in "The Sending of Dana Do." An Englishman and an Indian set out to repay an enemy with spirited visitors of a most unexpected, and wildly funny, sort. It's classic Kipling in this meeting of two cultures and two very different men who for a friendship under startling circumstances.
Gather the family together, turn down the lights or light a candle, and enjoy some old-fashioned spooky storytelling.
