Pt/2 short ghost story by Charles Dickens

[TalonMercenary]

Actually have trouble watching this, its just too scary. Almost had a heart attack the first time i saw it, i know locations like that :/

[blueleadguitar]

The fact there is hardly any music, makes this a fantastic piece of drama, and what a briiliant adaption this is. I saw it when it was first shown in 1976. Thank you so much for uploading it

[pfalconer]

Wonderful, and terrifying. Those of you wanting a "summary" so you can get your English coursework done as quickly as possible without thinking too much, take the time to watch this properly - don't think of it as work; try and enjoy this wonderful story, and Denholm Elliot's tremendous performance.

@621Kershaw I spent 10 years as a Signalman, and there are more scarier places than that one - for real lol. Good story though- I worked in Moss Side Crossing box at the time I read it; on the Blackpool Sth line.

[bigbadreddog]

The Victorians were a strange lot. The era of Jack the Ripper, Spring Heel Jack, Grave Robbers, the whole kit and carboodle. No fucking wonder they were a fucked up lot LOL. Did you know that it was legal in those days to screw a 12 year old child? see how fucked up they were?

[8G00SE8]

It was legal to do that for 2000 years before the victorians, it was the victorians who created the age of consent.

[oconnorcd]

lol, no wonder the victorian age intrigues me. I always thought it was something else. jk. lol

[vampressprincess53]

Dickens wrote it becasue the Victorians had a fear of trains which was then new technology to them.

[Amnesiac1986]

And also because Dickens himself was in a train crash which affected him greatly.

[vampressprincess53]

Yep. Oh the things you learn from an english lesson :P

[ShuntingTank043]

staplehurst train accident

[brianbry93]

The Staplehurst train crash, kent. quite shocking really...the one on this is inspired by the Clayton tunnel crash though..

[HA1LILPALAZZO]

@brianbry93 the accident at Staplehurst wasn't a crash it was a derailment a gang had removed a rail on a bridge for replacement and had failed to stop an approaching train which Mr Dickens was riding. Luckily his carriage remained upright and flew over the gap but it affected him differently for 5 years later to the day of the accident he died

[shomi74]

@HA1LILPALAZZO Hi! Thanks for the comments. Isn't it rather eerie that Dickens should die 5 years later exactly on the anniversary of that crash?! His story and the plot of the story has a fundamental parallel. its quite spooky, and not a mere coincidence as the story teller rationalizes.

[bluegrasslass]

I've read this story 3 or 4 times, and it's amazing to see it perfectly translated! Adaptations are so freely interpretated these days it's nice to see one that's on the button. Shows how the quality of TV has plummeted today - Come on BBC get yer finger out!!

[FoShizzleMaWizzle]

ahhhh. Im only wtching this cus of da school.

man this is not my class..

Holla..

[aeolus925]

Thanks for posting this; never saw it before! This is a favorite ghost story of mine - partly because of the trains, yes, but it's really very psychologically creepy. The print version goes into fascinating depth about Victorian class ethics &c., makes for a great read. This TV adaption is done very well.
