All the Dead Mothers of My Daughter's Friends by Sophie Hannah

Episode 1 of 3

Mel makes a new friend and learns about different types of ghosts. Then the theories are tested out. Read by Tracy-Ann Oberman.

"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 deaths were right and fair - they've been redeemed by death. They were evil while alive..."

First in a series of commissioned stories presenting ghosts or ghostly happenings in the cold light of day.
