S1 Ep53: Why Christmas is a Great Time for Ghost Stories

Published: Dec. 3, 2020, 5:20 p.m.

What is up with that lyric from "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" that goes:
\n
\nThere'll be scary ghost stories
\nAnd tales of the glories of
\nChristmases long, long ago

\n
\nWell, it refers to a tradition that dates back even farther than Scrooge being haunted by Marley\u2019s ghost. Back before Christmas was even born.
\n
\nThanks to their pagan roots, Christmas (Yule) and Halloween (Samhain) share ghost stories in common. But Christmas hauntings differ a bit from Halloween's.
\n
\nThat's what Court examines in this episode.
\n
\nWarning: She also indulges in a wee bit of singing. Apologies in advance.
