    One creepy moment but too short.

    This would be great if someone would adapt it to about 45 minutes or a hour. This version is just so short at 16 minutes. The creepy part was great though. It's currently on youtube go give it a watch.

    • Quotes

      Narrator: Mr. Cooper's view is that all these many events have a meaning for us, if our limited intelligence permitted of our disintegrating it. While his assistant has been reminded of an aunt, now gone from us, who was once lost for an hour and a half in the maze at Covent Garden. Or it may have been Hampton Court. As for Mr. Humphreys, his views on some points are less clear-cut than they used to be. His nerves, too, have suffered, and he cannot even now see a blot of ink on a page quite unmoved.
