On this episode of Unpleasant Dreams, Cassandra entertains us with the short story The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E. Wilkens Freeman, published in 1903 and in the public domain. The Shadows on the Wall is a chilling tale of grief, guilt, and supernatural vengeance. After the sudden death of Henry Glynn, his sisters and surviving brother gather in the family home, only to be haunted by an ominous shadow on the wall—one that refuses to fade. As tensions rise and dark secrets emerge, the lingering presence suggests that some wrongs are not so easily buried.

Are you noticing any shadows on your wall?

Enjoy!
