BBC Radio 4 Extra - Ancient Sorceries by Algernon Blackwood, 2. Feeling Watched

Vezin realises that the cat-like villagers are watching him closely.

When Vezin spends the night in a medieval village, he realises the cat-like locals are watching him. Read by Philip Madoc.

On impulse, Vesin gets off his train home and decides to spend the night in a small, sleepy, medieval village town whose mysterious inhabitants surreptitiously watch him.

He intends to stay one night but he stays longer than planned and gets to know the streets of the town. He feels watched even though no one appears to take any notice of him. 

Vesin starts wondering whether the people actually come alive at night and wonders if the town is in the hands of cats. 

Vesin begins to feel uneasy and that strange forces are tugging at his very being...

Algernon Blackwood's dark tale unabridged in four parts.

Read by Philip Madoc.
