Mother (Hotel Topia)

Tonight's story is a shocker about a dying spiritist and her unbelieving husband.

Christmas was traditionally time to gather around the fire and tell ghost stories. Tonight's story, The Christmas Ghost by Anna Alice Chapin tells of a group of carefree friends who gather for a Christmas celebration. As the night goes on, an innocent game takes a rather spooky turn.

Christmastime used to be the time to tell ghost stories, long before Halloween became popular. Today, Mother is reading Christmastime in the Land of the Belsnickel by Matthew Burns for your listening pleasure. Credit: Forest photo by Francesco Ungaro from Pexels.
