The World's Greatest Short Stories
The Signalman
por
Charles Dickens’s “The Signalman” is a classic ghost story told through the encounter between a traveler and a railway signalman stationed in a lonely cutting. The signalman describes unsettling apparitions that seem to warn of danger, while the traveler tries to understand what he has seen and what the warnings might mean.
As a radio dramatization, the story’s suspense rests on the signalman’s account, the traveler’s questions, and the stark railway setting. The tale blends mystery with supernatural unease, building toward a chilling meditation on fate, warning, and the limits of human understanding.
