The document discusses initial ideas for potential audio stories based on a brief. It considers several locations for stories, including 30 East Drive known for violent poltergeist activity, and East Riddlesden Hall with multiple reported ghosts. The document prompts reflection on the most useful existing research, preferred production format, settled story choice with rationale, potential title and logline, ideas for sound design and narration, current feelings about the project, and additional needed research.

• 30 East Drive
• Violent poltergeist that attacked a 12 year old. He's called Fred or The Black Monk of Pontefract. He's been haunting since the 60s. He has
resisted attempts to bless the house and has sang back at the Christian songs meant to banish him. The local press dubbed him as “Mr
Nobody” in 1968. Fred seemed to attack the children when they reached adolescence and he left the daughter seriously traumatised and
left visible prints on her neck, this is unusual for poltergeists as they are usually harmless.
• East Riddlesden hall
• There is quite a lot of ghosts here, most are pleasant but one called stan is a bit rude.
• Annison funeral parlour
• its haunted by a girl that was last seen alive there, the 1st floor is severely haunted with staff claiming to see the ghost of the girl up there
