The Whispering Committee

In 1950s England, small-time local villain Eric Tanner has recently found out that he's gay. The news doesn't go down well with his wife, resulting in a violent argument that leaves Eric with plenty of loose ends to tie up before he can flee the country with his boyfriend. But Eric knows all too well that secrets are hard to keep in a street full of curtain-twitchers and spiteful gossip...

Fifty years later, a hotel worker discovers that the room where the ill-fated lovers met in secret is still frequented by their spirits. Recruiting a friend to help investigate the ghostly occurrences, the past and present are set on a chilling collision course.

Inspired by the short story “Rats” by M.R. James, “The Whispering Committee” is a supernatural horror that asks the unnerving question: When we see ghosts, can they see us too?
