Swings by Adam Thorpe

Episode 3 of 3

Howard is alone when he visits a deserted playground. Then something starts making a squeaking noise. Read by Kenneth Cranham.

"Yes, the ghosts you see at night, they're the souls - the auras, if you like - of good people who didn't deserve to die. That's why they're full of regret, and frightening. Ghosts we see in broad daylight are the ones whose death were right and fair - they've been redeemed by death. They were evil while alive..."
