The Face at the Window, the Wave of the Hand by Louise Welsh
Episode 3 of 3
An uncanny tale evoking the folklore of the doppelganger, set in contemporary Edinburgh. Read by Monica Gibb.
The last in our series of three commissioned ghost stories set in Edinburgh.
'The Face in the Window, the Wave of the Hand' evokes the German folklore of the doppelganger, or double, but is set in a contemporary Edinburgh town house. In traditional tales, your double is a shadow heralding your own death - if you see yourself in passing, it's very bad news.
