The world is more mysterious than most people are comfortable imagining. We cross paths with the mystical from time to time and may not even notice it. If we do, we quickly return to our usually mundane daily existence. But what if we not only acknowledged the unknown, we investigated it and spoke with those in the know? That’s what co-hosts Scott & Forrest, and their producer Tess Pfeifle do at Astonishing Legends. Over 100 million downloads and hundreds of thousands of listeners have shown ...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/12459019903">In Ghostly’s fourth episode, Pat and Rebecca revive an old English tradition lost over the years, Christmas ghost stories. They, along with Pat’s friend Mondo, share three Christmas ghost tales guaranteed to make the listener want to curl up in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate while being transported to the Christmas spirit realm.
Telling these stories was tradition for many years not just around Halloween, but also around the holidays. As far back as Shakespeare, the English told ghost stories to celebrate the Christmas season (it’s not a coincidence that A Christmas Carol, a ghost story, is one of the most famous holiday stories). The American Puritans stopped this tradition, but now Ghostly is bring it back. Read this Smithsonian article to learn more about the tradition.
Mondo tells the first story, “The Highwayman of Kent.” Learn the history of highwaymen before hearing the terrifying tale of a father, his daughter, and their encounter late one Christmas Eve with a highwayman up to no good.
Rebecca tells our second legend, set in Victorian England. “The Mistletoe Bride” is a special Christmas story of a wedding gone very, very wrong. Learn about one of the most haunted homes in Britain and about old English wedding traditions before hearing about the fate of the mistletoe bride!
In our third and final tale, Pat brings us back to Chicago and the story of “Captain Santa and the Christmas Ship.” Hear the fascinating history of Captain Herman E. Schuenemann and his Christmas tree business in downtown Chicago. Then listen to the tragic story of what happened to the captain and his ship one fateful trip on Lake Michigan.
Also included in this episode are poll results from our previous episode on Bachelor’s Grove (check it out here if you haven’t had a chance to listen yet).
