How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth

Show Notes

In this, the 41st Patreon bonus episode, with it being Christmas, we're starting a brand new annual tradition. I'll read you a ghost story first published in 1925, 100 years ago, in the London Mercury—a classic tale from the master himself, M.R. James. Christmas is a time for ghost stories, so allow me to share one with you.

So, turn the lights down low, pour yourself a drink, make yourself comfortable, and let’s begin this year’s Christmas ghost story.
