About this listen

When Edward Glynn dies suddenly in the family home, the surviving siblings gather in mourning—yet grief quickly gives way to dread. A strange shadow begins appearing on the study wall each night, a tall and unmistakably human silhouette that refuses to fade, no matter how the room is rearranged or the light is moved.

Caroline, Rebecca, and Emma Glynn struggle to hold themselves together as the tension among them thickens, suspicions grow sharper, and their brother Henry’s behavior turns increasingly frantic. What is the shadow? Why does it look like Edward? And what secret is Henry so desperate to bury that even death can’t silence it?

First published in 1903, The Shadows on the Wall is a masterfully crafted example of quiet, psychological horror—an eerie New England ghost story that unfolds inside a suffocating Victorian household where guilt, fear, and the supernatural intertwine.

Narrated with chilling subtlety by Jule Ann Marra, this classic tale proves that some hauntings don’t come from beyond the grave… but from the living who carry what they dare not confess.

Perfect for fans of gothic fiction, domestic ghost stories, and atmospheric supernatural mysteries.
