Summary

Apologies for my voice - but despite a nasty cold I've done my best to bring you a spooky Christmas Ghost Story - this time from the mind of Charles Dickens! You can read the tale yourself online for free. According to the Dickens Museum, this story was likely influenced by an actual train tragedy. You can read a bit about that on Wikipedia in the article about this story. From my family and Karen's, we wish you a very happy holiday and a very happy new year! Check out episode #267 for more info on Charles Dickens and his supernatural tales. Blake Smith Dec 23, 2022 Kennesaw, GA This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
