Victorian Christmas wasn’t all warm fires and festive cheer — it was also the season for ghosts. In this video, Kevin Hicks from The History Squad uncovers the eerie Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve… and then brings three of the most chilling classics to life. Then enjoy a shortened rendition of three iconic ghost stories that helped define the tradition:
The Monkey’s Paw — W. W. Jacobs. A grim tale of fate, grief, and wishes that should never be granted.
Lost Hearts — M. R. James. A chilling haunting involving an isolated mansion, strange music, and two ghostly children.
Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad — M. R. James. A sceptical professor discovers that some objects — and some spirits — should never be disturbed.
