Description

I have always been bothered by the line in the Andy Williams Christmas song "It's the most wonderful time of the year" when he says "There'll be scary ghost stories." I always wondered who told scary ghost stories for Christmas. So naturally, with Christmas falling on a Thursday, I decided it was a good idea to share a scary ghost story. Here is "The Signalman" by Charles Dickens, certainly a writer people associate with Christmas. Darren Marlar shared it on his amazing podcast Weird Darkness.
