Is this perhaps the most gruesome fairytale, even for the Brothers Grimm? As far as macabre old stories go, is very much in the same vein as Bluebeard, although with a lot more murders in this murderous den!

The girl looked up and saw that the voice came from a bird hanging in a cage on the wall. Again it cried:

 ‘Turn back, turn back, young maiden fair,

 Linger not in this murderers’ lair.’

Ghost horror story or fairytale? Why not both!? I hope you enjoy this soft spoken asmr reading of the Brothers Grimms’ "The Juniper-Tree" with very light commentary and soft music for sleep, relaxation, and spooky season! Sweet dreams, and stay spooky!

Follow along for more creepy calm stories: https://nebula.tv/abitlate

My mother killed her little son;

My father grieved when I was gone;

My sister loved me best of all;

She laid her kerchief over me,

And took my bones that they might lie

Underneath the juniper-tree

Kywitt, Kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!

"Once there was a little pumpkin that grew on a vine in a field. All day long the sun shone on him, and the wind blew gently around him. Sometimes the welcome rain fell softly upon him, and as the vine sent her roots deep down into the earth and drew the good sustenance from it, and it flowed through her veins, the little pumpkin drank greedily of the good juice, and grew bigger and bigger, and rounder and rounder, and firmer and firmer."

This tale Over the Garden Wall type story, "The Little Pumpkin" is read in a soft voice and set to some light and soft background music. I do hope you enjoy the this evening's Halloween Story!
