==========================================

A solitary, academically minded professor takes a holiday by the sea, preferring quiet walks and intellectual detachment over human company. While exploring an old Templar ruin on the coast, he discovers a small whistle buried in the sand — engraved with a cryptic Latin warning.

Curiosity gets the better of him. He blows the whistle. From that moment, something begins to follow him: a presence that moves with the wind, gathers shape in the dark, and presses closer each night. The rational professor tries to explain it away, but the haunting becomes physical, personal, and terrifyingly real.

This production was originally broadcast on the BBC Home Service on December 24, 1963 (Christmas Eve).
