Summary
==========
HOUR ONE: Most all of us think of Christmas as a time of love, warmth, joy, and charity… but for some, Christmas isn’t merry at all… it’s murderous. We’ll look at some horrific holiday murders and the killers behind them. And more! But first… we visit Point Pleasant, West Virginia during the Holidays of 1967… but we don’t see a sleigh and reindeer in the sky… we see a nightmare.
==========
HOUR TWO: Christmas is supposed to be the merry season with joy and light in the darkness. But many places arehaunted by ghosts and paranormal activity during this time. In fact, many of the ghost stories I’ll share tonight are haunted especially around Christmas.
