Professor Parkins is spending the winter holiday improving his golf at the seaside town of Burnstow when he makes a strange discovery at the site of an old monastery. But what is the secret of the whistle he finds? And when he blows into it has he roused more than the wind?

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come To You, My Lad” by M.R. James (1904).
