Lore Alive 5: In the Next Room

Welcome to Lore Alive, a special Halloween bonus series that brings dark tales from history to life with immersive sound design and voice actors.

For today’s final Halloween bonus of the year, we have the sort of story that captured my heart as a kid. On the surface, it’s the story of a woman grieving the departure of a dear friend. But there’s something much more frightening beneath the surface.

Lore Alive was created by Aaron Mahnke, with writing and direction by Nicolas Tecosky, audio production and sound design by Brandon Grugle. This week’s episode starred Amanda Cucher as Marion Bargrave, and Sarah Palmm as Lavinia Veal and Helen.
