Episode 063- Christmas Ghost Stories

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is possibly the most popular ghost story in the English language. It may seem weird that Christmas has a famous ghost story, but the reality is that Christmas ghost stories were a tradition in Victorian England. I think the Christmas Ghost Story needs to make a comeback, and so I'm going to talk about the history, and modern examples, and top it off by telling a few stories myself! So, light a candle, get your favorite beverage... And turn out the lights. May you have a great 2018! I hope you enjoy the episode.   Join the Hellbent for Horror Horde on Patreon!
