During Christmas Time in the Victorian Era, telling ghost stories while huddled around a fire on a cold night was a common occurrence. To celebrate, let’s revisit this time-honored custom and tell some scary stories. We put together a special episode for just this occasion, just for all of you. Thank you to everyone who contributed to make this episode happen. I’m very proud of it and I hope you all enjoy it!
