A quiet trip to the English coast becomes something far more unsettling when Professor Parkins discovers a mysterious whistle buried near the ruins of an ancient Templar site.

After blowing it, strange dreams and disturbing sights begin to follow him, suggesting that something unseen may have heard the call.

In this episode of Midnight Murmurs, experience M. R. James’ chilling classic “Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad” — a slow-burning ghost story about curiosity, isolation, and the danger of summoning what should have remained undisturbed.

Written by M. R. James. Public domain narration presented by Midnight Murmurs — Season 3.
