About this listen
Amyas Northcote (1864-1923) was an English writer and contemporary of M. R. James who was best known for his ghost stories.
'The Downs' is a classic ghost story which demonstrates Northcote's understated genius. The story starts out as a regular tale, but with a few understated clues as to the nature of the horror that is to come - perfectly setting the atmosphere of creepy tension: 'I was perfectly confident in my ability to find my way back over the down to Branksome at night, as the path was very familiar to us, and I expected to be aided by the light of the moon, which would rise about 10 o'clock.'
Sure enough, the journey back over the downs reveals a terrifying horror...and our hero is lucky to escape with his life.
