My name is Mark Calliv.

During a move recently I found an old recording of my appearance and a radio show out of Dallas.

I had never actually listened to it before.

This true story I told over the phone to an anonymous audience a decade ago.

In listening, I realized that I had left something out of the story.

And that was how I came to think of its main character once again, after years of blacking

him out entirely from my mind.

Shortly before the main events of the story begin to unfold, I've been walking alone in

the woods near the house you'll soon hear described.

Hearing a strange animal cry somewhere nearby, I turned and looked around at the trees,

and it was alarmed to see someone watching me.

My very first thought, rising up from the depths of distant memory, was it's him, it's Uncle

Gray.

A name that had not occurred to me in a very long time.

But what had happened was that a curious branch formation, blending with some unusual natural

markings on a poplar tree, had for a split second fooled me into thinking I was looking

at a human body and a cruel human face.

The unexpected cues that can bring memories back.

I offer this recording now because God helped me.

It does feel like the more the whole story is known by all, the more protected I am against

the possible return of Uncle Gray.

You're listening to Strange Chimes.
