Episode 018 -- Ghost Stories and Dreadful Beings of Christmas Time - a podcast by twinterrorsheavymetal

Welcome to another seasonal themed episode!  We figured with all the Halloween episodes, we could at least do one or two at Christmas.  You may notice a distinct theme, though, as we're still sticking with the spooky stuff.  Enjoy our discussion of the history of telling ghost stories at Christmas, some of the horrific beings that roam the country side in the dark of winter, and a bit on traditions.

Mentioned in the episode are these two articles, for your perusing enjoyment:
