Used to be a great tradition of Ghost stories being read and later being produced for television at Christmas here in the UK
This is one of the best,from the 1960s long before in your face CGI Monsters or Zombies,found it on youtube and post it for your edification.
It may seem a little slow at first for today's youth but bare with it,you will probably remember it long after you have forgotten, the latest Zombie slasher movie
enjoy
