Christmas Ghost Stories
Since Victorian times, Christmas has traditionally been the time of year to gather around a log fire, turn the lights down low and indulge in a Ghost Story. Every year - journalist and broadcaster Jon Briggs (also known as the original voice of Siri on your iPhone in the UK) has recorded a haunted tale - thrilling enough to freeze your mulled wine and send shivers down the back of Santa's neck. These tales of the supernatural are collated here for your delectation and delight from 2015 onwards. You will remember to come back next Christmas...won't you?

Hello, it's John here. Look, if you've enjoyed the ghost stories on this podcast, thank you so much for coming along the journey. They are, of course, just stories, fiction, designed to send a shiver down the spine on a dark winter's night. But I've decided to explore the real world of the dark arts in a new podcast. Together with some of the world's leading historians of witchcraft, I've recorded Witches, Truth, Trials, and Terrors. We uncover the real history behind the witch trials, discover why ordinary neighbors turned on each other, reveal who was really accused, and separate centuries of myth from the astonishing reality. No Hollywood, no fantasy, no spells or broomsticks. Just the fascinating truth behind one of history's greatest panics, told by the historians who have spent their lives studying it. It's as if you'd taken the world's foremost experts on witches and witchcraft, sat them down in a pub over a good pint of ale and asked them why a lot. If you enjoy the atmosphere of Christmas ghost stories, I think you'll find the real world of witches is every bit as compelling. Because unlike our ghostly tales, these events actually happened. So when you've finished your ghost story for the evening, search for Witches, Truth, Trials, and Terrors wherever you get your podcasts, or simply click on the link in the blurb for this trailer and join us as we separate history from hysteria.
