Description

It’s a spooky one for you Purple People as we transcend to the world of the supernatural for an etymological seance with ghosts and poltergeists.   



Discover what blazing fires and the ethereal have in common, why we climb to 7th heaven and why the mystics are so close to their secrets. 



Susie will tell us why our faulty applicants give up the ghost and Gyles shares a story that packs a punch..of should we say, a fright!

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:   

Kalopsia -  The delusion of things being more beautiful than they are 

Mumpish - Feeling sullen, cranky, withdrawn and glum 

Simchaa - A word from Hebrew meaning gladness and joy  



Gyles read ‘Dark, dark wood’, a story developed by Cambridge English Online on behalf of the British Council.   



In the dark, dark wood, there was a dark, dark house. 

And in that dark, dark house, there was a dark, dark room.  

And in that dark, dark room, there was a dark, dark cupboard.  

And in that dark, dark cupboard, there was a dark, dark shelf.  

And on that dark, dark shelf, there was a dark, dark box.  

And in that dark, dark box, there was a ghost.
