And so it begins... my run up to Christmas. This isn't a massively Christmassy story though it takes place at Christmas.

Who's really in the lift?

In L.P. Hartley's "Someone in the Lift," a young boy's festive hotel stay turns into a chilling encounter with the unknown. As he repeatedly glimpses a shadowy figure in the elevator, his parents' dismissals only deepen the mystery. The line between childhood imagination and genuine supernatural presence blurs, leading to a haunting climax that defies easy explanation. Hartley's masterful storytelling weaves innocence, fear, and the uncanny into a tapestry of unease that clings to the mind like frost on a winter window.

Listen to this classic ghost story and decide for yourself: is there truly someone in the lift? Ha ha ha ha! (etc)
