What if your favorite Christmas traditions came with a side of the supernatural? In this Paranormal Christmas special, we invite you to join us for a cozy night of ghost stories, haunted ornaments, and the kind of creepy doll you hope never ends up under your tree.

We kick things off with a tale of a haunted Christmas ornament—an ordinary decoration with an extraordinary story, where fairies and the unexplained make the holidays unforgettable. Next, we unwrap the chilling mystery of a creepy doll whose Christmas antics blur the line between festive fun and paranormal mischief. Along the way, we share true ghostly encounters from care homes, exploring how the holiday season can be both heartwarming and haunted.

As we sip tea and share cookies, we reflect on the magic of Christmas, the power of gratitude, and the ways our families and communities come together—even when the unknown is knocking at the door.
