We’re celebrating October with a series of ghost stories, and this week we check out “Lanceford House” (also known as “The Green Vase”) from Beyond Midnight! Based on a short story by Dennis Roidt, it’s the tale of a novelist who moves into an old house with a dark history. What lies in the locked attic? Why has he become so fascinated by the green vase left behind by a former occupant? Are angry mobs just more polite in the country? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

“I know I will lift the vase” gave me chills. Plus the mention of “where the table and vase have LIVED for thirty years”. Just a creepy episode.
Your video game memories remind me of one I could never finish it because of a missing clue. UGH!
I thought this was unintentionally funny at times. Dude is told “don’t move the vase.” He reads a letter that says, “don’t move the vase.” He interviews someone who said, “Joe moved the vase and died, as did everyone else who moved the vase.” And then the narration is “So of course I moved the vase.” I get that the vase had a “move me” power, but at that point in the story, it made me smile.
