About this listen

A ghost story for Christmas.

When a train stalls on a bridge in Levenshulme in Manchester, three regular commuters pass the time by sharing ghost stories. But when one passenger recounts a recent unsettling encounter under the very bridge they’re now stranded on, the silence around them begins to feel anything but empty.
