Swings by Adam Thorpe
Episode 3 of 3
Howard is alone when he visits a deserted playground. Then something starts making a squeaking noise. Read by Kenneth Cranham.
"Yes, the ghosts you see at night, they're the souls - the auras, if you like - of good people who didn't deserve to die. That's why they're full of regret, and frightening. Ghosts we see in broad daylight are the ones whose death were right and fair - they've been redeemed by death. They were evil while alive..."
Series of commissioned stories aiming to present ghosts or ghostly happenings in the cold light of day.
