Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: I’ll share a few ghost stories that all center around the Christmas season. (True Tales of Christmas Ghosts) *** We’ll look at a haunting in Rhode Island, where people claim to see a mysterious light every year at Christmas – and many believe it to be a ghost ship with a dark history. (The Christmas Light of Block Island) *** Even without ghosts, you can still have some terrible things take place at Christmas time – more than you might realize. You’ll never hear the word “Christmas” the same way again after hearing some of what happened in history during the Christmas season! (Horrible Happenings at the Holidays) *** What is for many their favorite paranormal Christmas movie of all time was, in fact, a bust at the box office. It wasn’t about a ghost though – it was about a desperate man, and an angel without any wings. (It Really Is a Wonderful Life)
