Christmas is here once again, and in this – the fourth annual Nightmare Before Christmas special I will once again read real ghost stories from listeners, and there’ll also be a number of very special polterguests dropping by to tell you of their own scary experiences, in their own words.

So, let us get this year’s Nightmare Before Christmas underway.

Thanks so much to Carl, Emma, Mikkoulf, Oivind, Janet, Anonymous and Anonymous for taking the time in send in their stories, as without you taking the time to do this there would be no Christmas special. Thank you.

Also enormous thanks goes to the polterguests who were so generous with their time in speaking to me.
