Description

For thousands of years, people tell each other terrible stories. Many enjoy being frightened even when there is actually no real threat—we consider all of it a fun prank. The first settlers in America often told stories like these. At night, they liked to gather in someone’s cabin or around a campfire and test who could scare the others more than each of them could scare individually. Some of these stories are very old, and most of them are told across every world; the majority share common roots. All of them are based on what people heard, saw, or experienced… or thought they heard, saw, or experienced. There are even stories so frightening that everyone around laughs.

Many girls and boys even now love telling each other stories. They gather in someone’s home, place a candle in the middle of the room, sit around it in a circle—without realizing that many of these stories were told to each other in exactly the same way by their grandparents when they were children. The program, in addition to stories in Russian and audio results that create a sense of “presence,” includes carefully selected fragments of overseas folk country music.

A citizen of Canada, Michael Hockney, politely agreed to record these stories in English so that those who want to practice and compete in understanding the text by ear could also, in addition, judge the rhythm, energy, and expressiveness of English pronunciation.
