The Past of Christmas Ghosts with Chelsey Weber-Smith

Is the thing we call the Christmas Spirit actually more paranormal than sentimental? It sure used to be, when a big part of the Victorian Christmas tradition was sitting around a crackling fire and telling scary ghost stories. For this two-part series, Sarah and American Hysteria’s Chelsey Weber-Smith resurrect the tradition by digging up the corpses of old ghost-related “true” stories using their favorite website, newspapers.com.
