The Great Keinplatz Experiment by Arthur Conan Doyle - A short story from Tales of Twilight 1885 wow

For those needing a bit of Doyle... it's quite light and has bits of humour running through it like a budget stick of Blackpool Rock.

In the University town of Keinplatz we discover a professor experimenting with human lives in a cavalier fashion without the proper checks and balances.

Where are the assiduous regulators of the modern age I hear you cry!

Enjoy! It's read by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio.

It’s wonderful that you are still finding stories by Doyle, and then delighting your listeners with a surprise new story. I hope you keep finding more stories for our enjoyment. Thank you!

Thanks for another excellent story.👍♥️

Delightful 😆 Some real laugh out loud moments! But surely they would’ve noticed that their hands, arms, and clothes weren’t their own.

The professor and his student may not be the only ones thought to be insane tonight. My family may be under the inclination that the Driver's Ed course has finally done a number on my whits, as I seem to be laughing uncontrollably as if learning about stops signs was a topic ridden with irony and humor. Thank you, good Mr. Wagland, for this. It was most enjoyable.

WOW!!! Hahaha...I would never have guessed this was by ACD! Thanks Greg!

[gabaleo]

I haven't read this one, thank you!❤

[thehangingparsiple]

Absolutely loved this, and the narration was superb, thank you!
No other audio channel has as large a following as Magpie, and I'm not surprised at all.
Just out of interest, Dickens learned how to mesmerise; he describes how, with brushing gestures, he was able to easily mesmerise a lady (in the audience at one of his readings??).
Mesmerism of course fell out of fashion, and hypnotism took its place, but there are still mesmerism practitioners. It's said that it's a more effective practice in terms of psychological afflictions.

ACD could be so playful when he wanted. What fun. Thanks.

Yes, thank you! I am a nomad currently traveling through Latin America. So refreshing to hear you speak the king’s English. 😊

Maybe i didn t say it in a long time but how can i describe your voice? The greatest, best, masterpiece, art 🤔 ? Can t find the proper word for it. Every time i hear the few very seconds of any story in yr chanel i am into "The beetle" story told by you. I dunno why but always i re live that one somehow, probably cuz was so darn amazing? And oddly i have a deja vu moment that i ve already said that before in past as comment on other story of yours. So odd.
