The Phantom of Highgate Cemetery | Full Mystery Audiobook

Hello, my dear friends, and welcome to Tea Time Mysteries. I’m Edward, and I’m so glad you’re here with me tonight. Before we begin, tell me — are you listening somewhere quiet, perhaps with rain against the window or autumn wind moving through the trees? This is a story best enjoyed with a steady cup of tea and a little mist in the imagination. And if you love classic mysteries wrapped in atmosphere, do remember to subscribe. Now… let us walk through the gates of Highgate. On a grey October afternoon in 1936, a funeral procession winds among the monuments of Highgate Cemetery. The deceased, Mr. Alistair Morland — antiquarian bookseller and devoted student of Victorian spiritualism — has died, it is said, of fright. Days before his passing, he claimed to have seen a phantom near his family mausoleum. Whispers spread quickly. A cloaked figure among the tombs. A man with a weak heart. A convenient heir with mounting debts. At first glance, the explanation seems irresistible: a staged haunting designed to terrify an old man into his grave. Victor Dane, agitated nephew and presumptive heir, becomes the obvious villain. A cloak is found in his rooms. He was seen near the cemetery. He had motive. Society is satisfied. But Hercule Poirot is not. Toxicology reveals a stimulant in Morland’s blood — administered hours before the supposed fright. His watch is found broken at 9:15, though the cemetery clock struck later. Footprints near the mausoleum are too deep, too deliberate, too theatrical. The phantom was not a crime of opportunity — it was a performance. As Poirot interviews the grieving widow, the nervous nephew, the eager journalist, and the attentive physician, one truth emerges quietly: we are far more comfortable blaming ghosts than those who share our tea. In this atmospheric and chilling mystery, superstition serves as camouflage. Fear is cultivated like mist among the graves. And the most dangerous apparition is not one glimpsed in moonlight — but one carefully constructed to mislead. The Phantom of Highgate Cemetery is a tale of manipulation, inheritance, and the peril of believing in spectacle over substance — where the dead rest quietly, but the living perform their deceptions with unsettling precision. 00:00:00 Chapter 1 00:09:57 Chapter 2 00:19:28 Chapter 3 00:28:14 Chapter 4 00:38:09 Chapter 5 00:47:34 Chapter 6 00:57:27 Chapter 7 01:07:00 Chapter 8 01:17:02 Chapter 9 01:27:54 Chapter 10 Disclaimer: This story is a creative tribute inspired by the brilliant world of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot.
