boggart
noun

A mischievous character from English folklore, boggarts attach themselves to a person or location. Though they can occasionally be considered merely impish or even helpful, boggarts are more often characterised as malevolent and hostile.

Sour Hall’s resident boggart is destructive and torments George and Ash by exacerbating the sources of their pain, drawing out past traumas and current fears.

Weird story, good performance

this is as very weird story, with an even stranger ending. I think that I would have stopped listening to it after the first episode if the performance were not so good. worth listening to if you just need to fill some time....just don't expect to much.

good beginning but then...

maybe I'm a snob for a great narrative? I just felt that my 1st time author Godkid would have written better. the whispers were spooky! gals were o.k. but the owner of the farm needs to work on her emotions being projected as she acts. had 2 get cues from Her g.f. I didn't finish. the track went from #2 to #6 so I got confused & heard THE WORST PART YET. Just listen 4 a bun in the oven - as some say. it gets so poorly delivered I gave up. with work this could be really good. not just now however. so sorry to disappoint but I wouldn't listen to it again if it were mandatory for my membership. I adore AUDIBLE so that says a big mouthful. hope my British friends across the pond like it more. thx 4 reading this. ♡ b well. P.S. thx 4 not harming the horse in the story. age is 1 thing but animal torture makes me upset & I think it's cheap.

Can’t wait for more!

This is great! As someone who doesn’t usually enjoy horror it’s a testament to the writing and acting that I can’t wait for more episodes. Growing up in rural Montana, I can appreciate the folklore and supernatural elements of an old family farm. Please keep George and Ash safe! I love them and can’t wait to hear where their story goes.

Does not down load in the right order

Good book like it a lot but did not down load in right order darted at 6 and then went to five so I had to manually select each episode by hand but I listens to them all in order to get the full picture of the story like it a lot. Doug C

Good way to pass the time

Very reminiscent of A Haunting tv show, a fun little story. The ending did feel a little flat, but I still enjoyed the build-up.
