  • Our protagonist, Victoria, is a successful businesswoman. 
  • She has a history of mental illness, but that's behind her now, despite what her distant husband might say. 
  • What starts out as a normal day at the office is turned upside down by the appearance of a mysterious figure that only Victoria can see. 
  • It soon becomes clear that this being, whatever it is, is following her. 
  • As Victoria tries to make the creature go away, her demons begin to creep up on her again. 
  Surrounded by people who don't believe her and struggling to keep herself together, can Victoria figure out who this being is before her sanity deteriorates?

  Meet the Otis family: Mister and Missus, and their four children - Washington, the twins called Stars and Stripes, and their daughter Virginia.  They've just moved from America and into the English country manor of Canterville Chase.  Though rumors persist that the house is haunted, the Otis's have none of it, and set about making the house their own.  Then come the mysterious clanking chains and the bloodstains on the floor, and soon even the Otis family must come face to face with that most feared of creatures - The Canterville Ghost.  But will the Ghost be able to survive his encounters with the erstwhile Americans?   
  Based on the immortal short story by Oscar Wilde, the award-winning Colonial Radio Theatre presents this most macabrely witty tale about life, death, love, fear, and Pinkerton's Champion Stain Remover.  The Canterville Ghost comes to life in a spirited production - filled with lush music and evocative sound effects - which will have you laughing and shrieking in equal measure.

  LibriVox readers present the fourth collection of monologues from Shakespeare’s plays. Containing 20 parts.William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 – April 23, 1616) remains widely to be considered the single greatest playwright of all time. He wrote in such a variety of genres - tragedy, comedy, romance, &c - that there is always at least one monologue in each of his plays. Some of these teach a lesson, some simply characterize Shakespeare at his best, some are funny, some sad, but all are very moving. Each monologue will touch everybody differently. Some people will be so moved by a particular monologue that they will want to record it. (summary by Shurtagal)
