Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calarogu Shark Media, Hello and Welcome to Ghost. This episode
is titled Two Turtle Doves, The Lovebird's Last Flight.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
In the quaint town of Princeton, blanketed by the soft
glow of Christmas lights, a haunting tale whispered through the
frosty air. This was the story of Lillian and Edward Astor,
Princeton's celebrated lovebirds, whose love, as vibrant as the festive
garlands around town, was the subject of much admiration. Yet
(00:49):
beneath this display, a tempest of hidden emotions brewed as
silent and profound as the winter night. For their tenth anniversary,
which coincided with the Christmas season, Edward commissioned an elaborate aviary,
adorned with the finest seasonal decorations and filled with melodious birds.
(01:09):
Two turtle doves, nestled amongst holly and mistletoe, symbolized their
enduring love. But amidst their gentle cooing, one dove's lament
hinted at a deep sorrow, presaging a heartrending twist of fate.
On Christmas Eve, a night when the air should have
been filled with carols and cheer, a suffocating purple mist
(01:33):
descended upon the town. The Asters were found lifeless within
their aviary, embraced in a tragic finality. A lone purple
feather in Lilian's hand the only whisper of their mysterious end.
After their passing, an unsettling change befell Princeton, The once
(01:54):
joyful holiday season was eclipsed by eerie occurrences. Shadows flickered
and danced along the wad walls of homes, as if
playing out the Astor's final moments. A chilling breeze, fragrant
with the scent of pine and sorrow, wove through the streets,
carrying with it the dove's plaintive cooing, now a knightly
(02:17):
serenade that reminded the townspeople of the couple's untimely demise.
Couples walking hand in hand felt the brush of unseen presences,
as if the love birds still wandered the town's cobbled paths.
The Astor's spirits, unable to part even in death, had
seemingly infused themselves into the very essence of Princeton, especially
(02:40):
near the abandoned aviary, which stood as a monument to
their love and tragedy. The medium, at tuned to the
whispers of the beyond, delved deep into the Astors past.
In her quest, she discovered the root of the haunting
tell of jealousy and betrayal as cold as the winter's frost. Edward,
(03:04):
his heart, clouded by suspicion, had accused Lilian of infidelity,
casting a shadow on their love. This shadow lingered after
their deaths, manifesting in hauntings that were as varied as
they were chilling objects moved of their own accord in
the homes of those who spoke ill of Lilian. Mirrors
(03:25):
reflected the fleeting image of the couple standing side by
side in a spectral imitation of their once happy lives.
The laughter of children was sometimes hushed by a sudden cold,
as if the couple's sadness wished to remind the living
of the joy that had been lost. A medium, intrigued
(03:59):
by the Astors, as if summoned by the spirit of
Christmas past, delved into their history. She uncovered a tale
of jealousy as biting as a december wind. Edward, his
heart clouded by suspicion, had wrongfully accused Lilian of giving
her heart to another. The root of his suspicion was
(04:19):
the arrival of a red corvette, as jarring against the
snowy backdrop of Princeton as a reindeer out of harness.
It belonged to Roger Nelson, whose mysterious allure was as
captivating and unsettling as the unknown depths of a winter's night.
(04:40):
Edward's once steady composure began to crumble like a gingerbread
house left out in the storm. During Princeton's Christmas fare,
Edward's fears came to a head against a backdrop of
twinkling lights and the sweet scent of mulled cider. He
witnessed an exchange between Lillian and Roger that set his
heart ablaze. The dark and jealous flame. In the days
(05:06):
that followed, Edward's gaze became as constant as the North Star.
Ever watchful for the red Corvette's return. Rumours swirled through
Princeton like snowflakes in a blizzard, each whisper adding to
the growing chill around the astor's love. On a silent night,
their final fateful argument unfolded amidst the aviury's winter blooms.
(05:29):
In the heat of the moment, Lillian's heart, heavy with grief,
succumbed to the cold, and Edward, in his despair, joined
her in an eternal winter's rest. The medium, in an
act of Christmas mercy, held a seance within the aviary's
crystal walls. She summoned the Astor's spirits, entreating them to
(05:52):
forgive and find peace. As their spectral forms emerged, shrouded
in a soft purple glow, the air filled with the
redolent scent of pine and the sorrowful song of the doves.
With each word of absolution, the spirit's countenances softened and
they were enveloped in a radiant light, their departure as
(06:13):
quiet as the falling snow. Princeton awoke to a serene
Christmas morning, The hauntings ceased, and the story of the
love Birds lived on a Yule tide, legend of a
(06:36):
love that not even death could part. It served as
a haunting reminder that the holiday season was not only
a time for joy, but also for forgiveness and healing. Yet,
even now, on the eve of Christmas, when the moonlight
casts a silvery sheen over Princeton, the faint sound of
a corvette's engine can be heard. The phantom vehicle glides
(06:58):
through the town, ver Roger at the wheel, accompanied by
two ghostly turtle doves perched in the back seat, their
presence a symbol of enduring love and the bittersweet pain
of loss. Their feathers catch the moon's glow, casting a
purple hue that speaks of a love that, like Christmas,
remains timeless and deep. Roger's spirit, it said, seeks redemption
(07:22):
on those silent nights, a chance to undo the part
he played in the Astor's fate, And as Princeton celebrates
the season of joy, the two turtle doves watch over,
a reminder of the delicate balance between light and dark,
joy and sorrow, and that in the heart of winter,
the warmth of love endures forever.
