In the great Victorian tradition, ghost stories have long been part of Christmas; a time when, as the nights draw in and the fire crackles, the shadows seem to grow deeper and the imagination runs wilder. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a golden age for such tales, blending festive warmth with an irresistible chill.

The Real and the Counterfeit by Louisa Baldwin
