Halloween is fast approaching and what better time of the year to listen to ghost stories then the autumn season, when the leaves begin to change color and there is a cold nip in the air. There are plenty of ghost stories from radio programs of the olden days, but if you want a taste of something different, have a listen to Alfred Hitchcock Presents Ghost Stories for Young People.

This LP was released in 1962 by Golden Records and features "tales of spooks, hobgoblins and spirits hauntingly introduced by the master of the unexpected". Six chilling short stories are narrated by John Allen who has a marvelously smooth voice. Unlike most ghost stories aired on the radio, which average 25-30 minutes in length, these tales are a mere 5-10 minutes each.... just enough time to give you a little fright before heading to slumberland.
