    Dr Wilmore's Diary - Chapter Seven
    Dec 24 2024
    In the thrilling conclusion to this dark and winding tale, Chapter VII reveals secrets, ghosts, and justice beneath the moonlit ruins of Bordesley Abbey. Phillis Spencer faces betrayal and a desperate struggle as George Cookes’ sinister plan to abduct and force her into marriage is foiled by an unexpected apparition—the ghostly figure of her supposedly dead lover, Tom Spencer. But all is not as it seems, and the truth of Tom’s fate, along with that of the duplicitous George Cookes, comes to light. Amid sword fights and confessions, long-buried crimes are revealed, and Cookes’ villainy collapses under the weight of his misdeeds. The cunning Dr. Wilmore’s role as both accomplice and savior is laid bare, and with justice served, the festive spirit of redemption and new beginnings takes center stage. The story ends on a joyful note, with a double wedding in Tardebigge Church as Tom and Phillis, and Tony Bates and Mattie, tie the knot, proving that love and loyalty can triumph over even the darkest plots. This final chapter is a rollercoaster of suspense, romance, and poetic justice, wrapping up the tale with warmth and celebration. Tune in to witness the dramatic conclusion and the Christmas joy that follows.

    Dec 22 2024
    In Chapter V, the story ventures into the chilling realm of the supernatural as Phillis Spencer turns to the infamous Redditch Wizard, Dr. Wilmore, to contact the spirit of her lost love, Tom Spencer. On All Hallows’ Eve, under the shadow of ancient superstition, Phillis and her maid secretly visit the eerie Abbey Gate House, where the doctor prepares to summon Tom’s spirit through a mystical mirror. Within the doctor’s shadowy sanctum, filled with strange artifacts, bones, and ancient tomes, Phillis is faced with a choice: to glimpse Tom in a crystal or to question him through the enchanted mirror. Choosing the latter, she steels herself for what lies ahead, receiving a stern warning not to look away or behind her during the ritual. As the smoke clears, Tom’s face materializes in the mirror, lifelike yet otherworldly. Phillis seizes the fleeting chance to ask three questions, her emotions teetering between hope and despair. She learns of Tom’s enduring love and his disapproval of her moving on, but his answer to her final question—a haunting revelation about his peace in the afterlife—leaves her shaken to her core. This episode dives into the eerie and emotional, exploring the lengths to which love and grief can drive a person. Will Phillis find closure in this otherworldly encounter, or will the answers she sought lead to more torment? Tune in for a spine-tingling tale of forbidden magic, spectral apparitions, and the enduring power of love and regret.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Well read and researched this is such an enjoyable listen. I play these on my way in to work and home - one minor comment : I'd love the stories to be a bit longer. My journey is half an hour so even a 15 minute long story would be great. I could listen to these all day. Thank you!
