Summary
Christmas has always belonged to ghost stories.
As the nights draw in and the world grows quieter, there is something timeless about gathering close and talking about the unexplained — the strange experiences, lingering questions, and haunted moments that stay with us long after the lights go out.
In this festive Talk Haunts special, Steve and Marie are joined by Danny Robins, award-winning writer and broadcaster, creator and presenter of BBC’s Uncanny, and playwright of 2:22 A Ghost Story. Together, they explore the enduring power of ghost stories, Danny’s own experiences and inspirations, and what it means to balance ordinary life with a deep fascination for the paranormal.
Warm, thoughtful and suitably eerie, this is a Christmas conversation about ghosts, belief, storytelling, fear, curiosity, and the strange pull of the unknown. From the world of Uncanny to the atmosphere of the stage, the discussion reflects on why ghost stories continue to matter — especially at the darkest, coldest time of the year.
A seasonal special for anyone who loves intelligent paranormal conversation, haunted storytelling, and the old tradition of a good ghost story by the fire.
