1
00:00:06,593 --> 00:00:09,093
This is a tale of the super natural

2
00:00:09,794 --> 00:00:13,994
It's the work of a man who wrote
ghost stories as a sideline.

3
00:00:14,096 --> 00:00:16,096
The author, M.R. James

4
00:00:16,097 --> 00:00:17,397
is an archaeologist,

5
00:00:17,398 --> 00:00:18,798
Medieval Historian

6
00:00:18,799 --> 00:00:21,899
and a great expert on the early
history of the Bible.

7
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:23,900
He was Vice Chancellor

8
00:00:23,901 --> 00:00:26,401
at Cambridge University during the
First World War

9
00:00:26,402 --> 00:00:31,602
and later became the provost of Eaton,
where he died in 1936

10
00:00:32,303 --> 00:00:35,303
He's best known for his ghost stories,

11
00:00:35,004 --> 00:00:39,104
all of which have a peculiar atmosphere
of cranky scholarship.

12
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:42,105
The darkest of them is called,

13
00:00:42,106 --> 00:00:45,206
"Whistle, and I'll come to you"

14
00:00:45,207 --> 00:00:50,107
It's the story of solitude and terror,
and it has a moral to.

15
00:00:50,208 --> 00:00:52,608
It hints at the dangers of
intellectual pride

16
00:00:52,609 --> 00:00:55,709
and shows how a man's reason
can be overthrown,

17
00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:59,110
when he fails to acknowledge those
forces inside himself

18
00:00:59,111 --> 00:01:01,511
which he simply cannot understand.

19
00:02:17,212 --> 00:02:18,212
Good afternoon sir

20
00:02:18,213 --> 00:02:20,013
Fithurst Hotel?
- Yes Sir

21
00:02:25,414 --> 00:02:27,114
Alright Sir?
- Thank you.

22
00:03:11,115 --> 00:03:11,915
How much is that?

23
00:03:11,916 --> 00:03:12,916
8 shillings please.

24
00:03:20,017 --> 00:03:21,917
Much obliged.
- Thank you

25
00:03:50,718 --> 00:03:52,118
Anybody there?

26
00:03:59,219 --> 00:04:01,119
Anybody there?

27
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:10,020
Professor Parkin

28
00:04:10,321 --> 00:04:13,121
I telephoned to you from Cambridge.

29
00:04:14,222 --> 00:04:15,922
Booked here for a week.

30
00:04:27,923 --> 00:04:29,923
You signed the register?

31
00:04:30,124 --> 00:04:32,524
Oh yes, yes, yes, of course.

32
00:04:34,025 --> 00:04:36,225
Come here for the Golf I suppose.

33
00:04:36,526 --> 00:04:39,326
No, no, I'm afraid I don't play Golf.

34
00:04:40,827 --> 00:04:41,827
Very much

35
00:04:45,428 --> 00:04:47,228
If at all

36
00:04:50,229 --> 00:04:54,729
(mumbles to self)
if at all

37
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:58,130
Err, about my... bag

38
00:04:58,231 --> 00:04:59,531
I'll bring em in

39
00:05:02,432 --> 00:05:05,432
Yeah, thank you

40
00:05:18,133 --> 00:05:23,133
Up we go, up we go, we go

41
00:05:31,034 --> 00:05:34,434
What a day, what a day, what a day

42
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:36,235
Has it been good here?

43
00:05:36,236 --> 00:05:37,136
Aye?

44
00:05:37,137 --> 00:05:38,437
The weather?

45
00:05:38,438 --> 00:05:39,438
Oh I

46
00:05:52,039 --> 00:05:53,439
Ahh

47
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Yes well, I suppose you want
(mumbles incoherently)

48
00:06:06,441 --> 00:06:08,641
Yes, yes, yes

49
00:06:09,242 --> 00:06:11,142
(continues mumbling)

50
00:06:13,643 --> 00:06:15,543
Ahh, yes, yes yes

51
00:06:20,544 --> 00:06:22,544
Bathroom

52
00:06:32,145 --> 00:06:33,845
Dinner at 8 then

53
00:06:34,146 --> 00:06:37,846
aaa, at 8 o'clock, dinner...yes
thank you very much.

54
00:06:53,047 --> 00:06:54,947
(hums to himself)

55
00:07:07,748 --> 00:07:09,148
Yesss

56
00:07:34,049 --> 00:07:35,149
(Groans)

57
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:28,350
Haa, yes

58
00:08:31,551 --> 00:08:32,451
Wash

59
00:08:34,452 --> 00:08:38,952
and moreover... a brush up

60
00:08:50,953 --> 00:08:52,953
(maids laugh)

61
00:09:51,954 --> 00:09:53,054
Yes

62
00:09:55,755 --> 00:09:56,755
Yes

63
00:10:10,356 --> 00:10:12,456
Ahh, brilliant, ahhh yes

64
00:10:16,457 --> 00:10:18,457
(Hums to himself)

65
00:11:25,358 --> 00:11:27,158
I've run your bath sir

66
00:11:30,459 --> 00:11:32,559
Your baths ready sir

67
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:34,660
Professor Parkin?

68
00:11:35,762 --> 00:11:39,962
Err aaa, erm, I'll em, errr em

69
00:11:42,163 --> 00:11:44,063
Err, thank you

70
00:11:53,864 --> 00:11:55,464
Shall I turn down your bed sir?

71
00:11:55,565 --> 00:11:56,865
Turn down the bed

72
00:11:57,466 --> 00:12:01,266
Turrn down bed. Yesss

73
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:06,767
Ahh, T Turn down the bed

74
00:12:30,768 --> 00:12:32,368
Thank you

75
00:12:32,569 --> 00:12:36,769
And I I think a little, little Haddock,
wouldn't come a miss

76
00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:40,270
Aaha

77
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:43,171
Tut tut tut tut

78
00:12:46,172 --> 00:12:49,172
Quite sure you wouldn't care for a round
after all Professor?

79
00:12:49,273 --> 00:12:51,473
No, no I don't think I will

80
00:12:53,074 --> 00:12:57,674
Think I'll go for a good,
trudge, around the district.

81
00:13:00,175 --> 00:13:02,375
Take a packed lunch perhaps

82
00:13:03,876 --> 00:13:05,876
Look at the dunes

83
00:13:06,677 --> 00:13:07,877
Beach

84
00:13:09,378 --> 00:13:10,278
or cemetery

85
00:13:10,379 --> 00:13:13,479
Ooo aye. A bit too spooky for me

86
00:13:13,580 --> 00:13:14,880
Spooky

87
00:13:16,081 --> 00:13:17,981
Is it? Hummm

88
00:13:20,182 --> 00:13:21,382
Spooky

89
00:14:23,683 --> 00:14:25,783
(sings to himself)

90
00:15:37,584 --> 00:15:40,784
Old forefather of the village

91
00:15:42,785 --> 00:15:44,985
Sleeping no doubt

92
00:16:07,186 --> 00:16:08,186
Hum

93
00:16:10,587 --> 00:16:11,887
Give a dog a bone

94
00:16:24,788 --> 00:16:26,288
Finders keepers

95
00:17:18,289 --> 00:17:19,589
(sighs)

96
00:17:48,590 --> 00:17:50,090
Aaa, tcha tcha tcha tcha

97
00:17:56,691 --> 00:17:57,491
Dirty

98
00:18:15,592 --> 00:18:18,192
Inscription

99
00:18:25,693 --> 00:18:29,593
One hundred and one things
a boy can do

100
00:18:43,794 --> 00:18:44,994
Quis

101
00:18:50,295 --> 00:18:52,395
est

102
00:19:03,896 --> 00:19:04,896
iste

103
00:19:06,397 --> 00:19:07,397
qui

104
00:19:08,798 --> 00:19:11,398
uenit

105
00:19:12,299 --> 00:19:15,399
Who is this who

106
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,400
is coming

107
00:19:23,101 --> 00:19:24,801
We shall

108
00:19:25,902 --> 00:19:27,602
blow it and see

109
00:20:46,303 --> 00:20:48,703
Do you believe in ghosts Professor?

110
00:20:48,704 --> 00:20:50,404
Ghosts

111
00:20:51,305 --> 00:20:53,705
It's a rather sticky one isn't it

112
00:20:54,206 --> 00:20:56,306
I'm not quite certain what
you mean,  I mean

113
00:20:56,607 --> 00:20:58,507
I'm never quite certain

114
00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:05,208
What are we invited to believe when
anybody asks me a question like that

115
00:21:05,209 --> 00:21:07,609
I'm not even quite certain what
I'm being invited to disbelieve

116
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:10,210
Not quite with you old chap

117
00:21:11,011 --> 00:21:12,211
Well I mean

118
00:21:12,612 --> 00:21:14,412
You asked me, do I believe in say

119
00:21:15,513 --> 00:21:17,313
Australia, well

120
00:21:18,214 --> 00:21:21,014
I know perfectly well what the
sort of thing I'm being asked to judge

121
00:21:21,015 --> 00:21:23,815
we all agree what we mean by
Australia

122
00:21:23,716 --> 00:21:26,016
Large continents,
Southern hemisphere

123
00:21:26,117 --> 00:21:28,017
Discovered by Captain Cook

124
00:21:28,018 --> 00:21:30,818
Four or Five large cities,
Kangaroos and so on and so on

125
00:21:32,619 --> 00:21:34,319
And given that, Given That

126
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,020
One can perfectly well imagine,

127
00:21:37,121 --> 00:21:39,421
the sort of procedure that one might
put in hand to

128
00:21:39,422 --> 00:21:42,722
confirm or on the other hand
to Disconfirm

129
00:21:43,723 --> 00:21:44,223
it's existence

130
00:21:44,224 --> 00:21:46,624
it's not quite the same thing with
ghosts

131
00:21:47,825 --> 00:21:50,625
I mean there's no broad consensus
about what a ghost is, is there?

132
00:21:51,326 --> 00:21:54,326
You've told me a bit of a Chinaman on
that one. Lets think now

133
00:21:54,827 --> 00:21:55,827
Ghosts

134
00:21:57,128 --> 00:21:59,128
The spirits of the dead

135
00:21:59,629 --> 00:22:03,729
No the, the survival of the human
personality

136
00:22:03,730 --> 00:22:09,630
Aaaa, aaaaaaa.
The survival of the human personality

137
00:22:10,631 --> 00:22:11,931
Hum

138
00:22:12,732 --> 00:22:16,432
Well now. That's a different
question again really

139
00:22:16,933 --> 00:22:21,633
and err, it has, the,
grammatical appearance

140
00:22:23,234 --> 00:22:25,634
of a real question but

141
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:26,835
I wonder

142
00:22:26,836 --> 00:22:30,436
does it really, does it really mean
anything either?

143
00:22:30,637 --> 00:22:31,937
I mean does it?

144
00:22:33,437 --> 00:22:35,237
Let's see

145
00:22:35,738 --> 00:22:38,438
We say, for the sake of
argument

146
00:22:39,139 --> 00:22:44,239
that the human personality
survives death. Huh

147
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,140
Right

148
00:22:46,741 --> 00:22:50,241
But would we say to the same way
that we might say, for example

149
00:22:51,242 --> 00:22:55,142
that someone survived a
train crash

150
00:22:55,143 --> 00:22:56,543
Ummmm, Yes

151
00:22:56,544 --> 00:22:57,144
Ahhh, but would we?

152
00:22:57,145 --> 00:22:57,945
Yes

153
00:22:57,946 --> 00:22:59,646
Would we you see

154
00:23:00,247 --> 00:23:00,847
I mean

155
00:23:01,348 --> 00:23:03,248
are we saying, don't we that

156
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:06,949
poor Sanias survived the
train crash

157
00:23:08,150 --> 00:23:10,750
But was very badly
injured by it

158
00:23:11,651 --> 00:23:12,451
Now

159
00:23:13,252 --> 00:23:16,452
We wouldn't want to say poor
Sanias survived death

160
00:23:17,853 --> 00:23:20,453
and was very badly injured by it

161
00:23:20,654 --> 00:23:24,354
We definitely wouldn't want
to say that. Would we?

162
00:23:24,355 --> 00:23:25,555
Umm no

163
00:23:25,556 --> 00:23:29,756
No, no, no, well clearly here we have
a logical difference of usage

164
00:23:29,957 --> 00:23:30,957
In that

165
00:23:32,158 --> 00:23:35,258
Death, in a sense is not

166
00:23:36,459 --> 00:23:39,459
like other physical catastrophes

167
00:23:39,660 --> 00:23:41,760
I I mean one one doesn't talk
about anyone being

168
00:23:41,961 --> 00:23:44,261
very badly hurt

169
00:23:44,762 --> 00:23:45,862
by death

170
00:23:49,263 --> 00:23:51,963
except possibly the relatives
of the deceased

171
00:23:53,764 --> 00:23:55,664
But never the victim himself

172
00:23:55,665 --> 00:24:00,265
excluding of course, the em,
the special

173
00:24:00,266 --> 00:24:03,766
interpretation in which one might
say that he had been injured

174
00:24:03,967 --> 00:24:06,967
Fatally, by death

175
00:24:09,568 --> 00:24:11,868
or for that matter, that She had

176
00:24:13,369 --> 00:24:14,069
True

177
00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:15,070
True

178
00:24:16,271 --> 00:24:20,071
But there are more things in Heaven
and Earth, than in your Philosophy

179
00:24:21,672 --> 00:24:24,072
I prefer to put it a different way

180
00:24:23,473 --> 00:24:27,973
There are more things in Philosophy
then are dreamt of in
Heaven and Earth

181
00:24:28,774 --> 00:24:29,774
see what you mean

182
00:24:31,575 --> 00:24:33,075
more things in Heaven and Earth

183
00:24:42,176 --> 00:24:43,476
Delicious breakfast

184
00:24:45,477 --> 00:24:48,177
No, no no I don't think I'll take to it
I'll just go on my trudge

185
00:24:48,878 --> 00:24:50,878
Well I tell you what em

186
00:24:50,979 --> 00:24:53,379
you go roughly the way I go,
I'll show you erm

187
00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:55,680
put me on my way, umm umm

188
00:26:04,681 --> 00:26:07,781
Now, what have we got here?

189
00:26:18,482 --> 00:26:21,782
a ha, umm

190
00:26:32,183 --> 00:26:32,783
Cold

191
00:26:42,884 --> 00:26:44,884
Yes, yes, I need that

192
00:26:55,485 --> 00:27:01,285
There are more things in Philosophy
then are dreamt of in
Heaven and Earth

193
00:27:11,286 --> 00:27:17,186
There are more things in Heaven
and Earth, then are dreamt of in
your Philosophy

194
00:27:33,187 --> 00:27:34,787
Sand

195
00:27:36,088 --> 00:27:37,988
(Hums to himself)

196
00:28:45,789 --> 00:28:48,689
Who is this?
Who is coming?

197
00:32:59,090 --> 00:33:02,690
yes, a sort of dog

198
00:33:11,591 --> 00:33:12,591
Oh, Professor Parkin

199
00:33:12,592 --> 00:33:13,192
yes

200
00:33:13,193 --> 00:33:15,493
where shall I put the
blankets sir?
- Where?

201
00:33:15,695 --> 00:33:17,795
Well which bed do you
want it on sir?

202
00:33:17,796 --> 00:33:19,596
Which bed? Which bed?

203
00:33:19,797 --> 00:33:21,697
Yes, my bed

204
00:33:22,598 --> 00:33:24,098
My bed

205
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:27,799
Which is your bed sir? You seem
to have slept in them both.
They're both rumpled.

206
00:33:27,901 --> 00:33:30,501
Both, both, both both both

207
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:31,902
Both?

208
00:33:33,503 --> 00:33:36,403
But didn't you notice that both
beds have been slept in sir?

209
00:33:36,404 --> 00:33:37,804
No Madam I did not

210
00:33:38,505 --> 00:33:40,405
That is ridiculous

211
00:33:43,206 --> 00:33:45,706
I can't understand why you
didn't notice it sir

212
00:33:45,707 --> 00:33:48,807
Perhaps you moved from one bed
to the other in the middle
of the night

213
00:33:48,808 --> 00:33:53,008
I'm not in the habit of moving
from one bed to the other
in the mid nights

214
00:33:55,309 --> 00:33:57,809
Rumpled it certainly is, yes

215
00:33:58,510 --> 00:33:59,610
Rumpled

216
00:34:03,311 --> 00:34:06,711
I've not been in my room
since breakfast

217
00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:09,812
Has anyone else got keys?

218
00:34:09,813 --> 00:34:12,313
Only we two sir, and yourself

219
00:34:12,314 --> 00:34:13,614
Phenomenon

220
00:34:15,015 --> 00:34:15,715
Phenomenon

221
00:34:19,216 --> 00:34:21,516
Phenomenon, phenomenon

222
00:34:29,517 --> 00:34:33,517
Well I'll, I'll leave you to erm

223
00:34:36,118 --> 00:34:37,218
Straighten up

224
00:35:35,319 --> 00:35:39,919
Silly...Old...Bradley

225
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:03,420
Spiritualism, if true, demonstrates
mind without brains

226
00:36:03,421 --> 00:36:08,321
and intelligence, disconnected from
what is down the there

227
00:36:08,522 --> 00:36:11,122
material body

228
00:36:11,823 --> 00:36:14,923
And demonstrates that the so
called dead

229
00:36:16,024 --> 00:36:17,924
are still alive

230
00:36:18,725 --> 00:36:22,825
and that our friends are still
with us, though aren't seen

231
00:36:24,026 --> 00:36:27,926
Present article maybe taken as
a denial of the Yuse thesis

232
00:36:28,227 --> 00:36:30,827
and jolly good

233
00:36:32,028 --> 00:36:33,128
(sighs)

234
00:36:52,029 --> 00:36:55,729
I don't like tomatoes,
I told them I didn't like tomatoes.

235
00:37:05,130 --> 00:37:07,730
Tomatoes in the middle of winter,
never going to taste the same

236
00:37:58,231 --> 00:38:00,031
Who is this?

237
00:38:00,232 --> 00:38:02,732
Who is coming?

238
00:38:23,633 --> 00:38:25,733
Haaaaa

239
00:38:32,134 --> 00:38:34,734
(Clock chimes 11)

240
00:40:41,535 --> 00:40:41,935
Oh No!

241
00:40:41,936 --> 00:40:43,236
Yeah, well ummm

242
00:40:43,437 --> 00:40:44,037
Oh No!

243
00:40:44,038 --> 00:40:45,238
I think I'll...er

244
00:40:46,039 --> 00:40:47,039
Oh No!

245
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,340
I...I...I'll umm

246
00:40:48,341 --> 00:40:49,341
Oh no

247
00:40:50,142 --> 00:40:53,042
I'll err just tidy these things up a bit.
- Oh no

248
00:40:53,943 --> 00:40:54,943
Oh no

249
00:41:00,844 --> 00:41:02,044
Oh no

250
00:41:06,145 --> 00:41:07,045
Oh no

251
00:41:10,646 --> 00:41:11,146
No
