    When Edward Pendrick makes it into the lifeboat as the Lady Vain sinks, he thinks he's one of the lucky ones. Upon finding his way to the Island, populated with curious people, a reclusive genius, and his shamed assistant, he might question just how lucky he truly is.

    Special - Christmas Ghost Stories: Phantoms
    Dec 24 2024

    Hi! It's been awhile. Thanks for your patience.

    Today is a special episode and not the start of the next season, but a new season is coming in 2025.

    In Victorian England, they told ghost stories on Christmas. Today, we have three ghost stories from that era.

    The stories today were adapted by the Weisers from "The Old Portrait" by Hume Nisbet, "The Ghost's Summons" by Ada Buisson, and "Old Applejoy's Ghost" by Frank R. Stockton.
