Classic Ghost Stories · Lost in a Pyramid, or The Mummy's Curse by Lousia May Alcot · 11 Sep 2026 podcast

The smoke penetrated further than sound or light, and the guide's quick wit understood the unusual mist. podcast-host

He followed it and rescued the party. podcast-host

Make a fire and trusted Jamal. podcast-host

If I without wood, I began. podcast-host

But he pointed to a shelf behind him which had escaped me in the gloom. podcast-host

And on it I saw a slender mummy case. podcast-host

I understood him for these dry cases, which lie about in hundreds, are freely used as firewood. podcast-host

Reaching up I pulled it down, believing it to be empty. podcast-host

But as it fell it burst open and out rolled a mummy. podcast-host

Accustomed as I was to such sights, it startled me a little, for danger had unstrung my nerves. podcast-host

Laying the little brown chrysalis aside I smashed the case, lit the pile with my torch, and soon a light cloud of smoke drifted down the three passages which diverged from the cell like place where we'd paused. podcast-host

While busied with the fire, Niles, forgetful of pain and peril, had dragged the mummy nearer and was examining it with the interest of a man whose ruling passion was strong even in death. podcast-host

Come and help me unroll this. podcast-host

I've always longed to be the first to see and secure the curious treasures put away among the folds of these uncanny winding sheets. podcast-host

This is a woman, and we may find something rare and precious here, he said. podcast-host

Beginning to unfold the outer coverings, from which a strange aromatic odour came. podcast-host

Reluctantly I obeyed, for to me there was something sacred in the bones of this unknown woman. podcast-host

But to beguile time and amuse the poor fellow, I lent a hand, wondering as I worked if this dark, ugly thing had ever been a lovely, soft-eyed Egyptian girl. podcast-host

From the fibrous folds of the wrappings dropped precious gums and spices which half intoxicated us with their potent breath, antique coins and a curious jewel or two which Niles eagerly examined. podcast-host

All the bandages but one were cut off at last, and a small head laid bare, round which still hung great plaits of what had once been luxuriant hair. podcast-host
