A Ghost Story for Christmas

BBC Radio 6 Music - Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone, A Ghost Story for Christmas

Stuart celebrates the tradition of the Christmas ghost story. Listen with the lights on.

Stuart celebrates the tradition of the Christmas ghost story with haunting music and a couple of his favourite uncanny stories. Listen with the lights on.

Stuart celebrates the Christmas ghost story.

The tradition of telling spooky stories at Christmas dates back to Victorian and Edwardian times - Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol is, of course, a ghost story. It was revived in the 1970s by the films of Lawrence Gordon Clark and then again in the 21st century by Mark Gattis. 

In tribute Stuart brings you a collection of haunting music, spooky archive from the BBC vaults, some recordings of real ghosts and readings from his favourite uncanny stories by MR James, Jean Rhys and Robert Aickman.

Listen with the lights on.
