Episode 77 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS features a real ghost story, as experienced by Mars' sister and the sister's friends when they were 11 years old. They somehow summoned spectral visitors from the Great Beyond and they were later to find out that the spirits were - or wanted the girls to think they were - martyred Christian saints, Perpetua and Felicity.

BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF continues with our October spooky storytelling with a reading of "The Masque of The Red Death", by Edgar Allan Poe.
