The Queen of Craigielee by Louise Welsh

Episode 2 of 3

Photographing the deserted tower block means going to its 30th floor, which isn't really the place to be. Read by Tracy Wiles.

"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.
