"The Adventure of the Speckled Band, from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

This episode is read by Kira Apple! Kira is the voice of Jack St. James on Superstition and the Narrator on The Way We Haunt Now.

She loves playing video games, crocheting, and wrangling her four cats: Magrathea, Hazelnut, Ichabod Crane, and Mr. Tumnus.
