Another of vintage radio broadcaster A.J. Alan's light-hearted, strange shaggy dog stories (with old timey radio effects). The author recounts a recurring dream that may have sinister repercussions...
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
NOTE: This is something different on the channel. Regular listeners may remember I covered one of Alan's stories before. Sensing we may be on the cusp of a full-scale A.J.A revival, I've done another one to tide us over while I work on some more classic horror stories.

INFO ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nottingham-born A.J. Alan (real name: Leslie Harrison Lambert) was a performing magician, radio ham, volunteer coastguard radio operator, and naval intelligence officer who, at the start of World War II was part of the vital military intelligence effort at Bletchley Park. Prior to the war, he was telling stories on BBC radio and became one of the most popular broadcasting personalities of the time. These stories - light, but often strange and sometimes spooky - were later to be anthologised in ghost story collections such as the Fontana series curated by Robert Aickman, although they were meant to be performed and delivered in the rambling, conversational style Alan had made his own. He died in 1941.
Archive radio of A.J. Alan is now hard to find, but you can hear some gramophone recordings on the Stars of the Wireless site here: rfwilmut.net/wireless/alan.html
This special episode is intended as a tribute from one Nottingham "radio ham" to another!
