Paranormal Storytime – Ep. 1: The Riddle, Walter de la Mare

Seven children go to live with their elderly grandmother in a large, old house, where they are free to explore almost everywhere – except one room, where an ancient oak chest stands forbidden.

But curiosity proves difficult to resist, and one by one, the children are drawn towards the mysterious chest, disappearing without explanation. As their grandmother’s warnings grow ever more unsettling, a haunting question remains: what lies within the chest, and where have the children gone?

Walter de la Mare’s The Riddle is an eerie, dreamlike tale of childhood, secrets and the unknown, leaving readers to unravel its chilling mystery for themselves.
