Summary

This holiday season, New England Legends trades jingle bells for rattling wheels and ghostly warnings. Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger for a chilling Christmas special as they bring the classic Victorian ghost story The Phantom Coach by Amelia Edwards to life as a full audio drama. Actor Michael Legge delivers a haunting performance in this eerie tale of omens, shadows, and a coach that should never be followed—perfect for a dark winter night. Featuring an atmospheric original score by John Judd, this episode captures the timeless tradition of Christmas ghost stories… the way they were meant to be told. Turn down the lights. Turn up the volume. And remember—some holiday travelers are best left unseen.
