January 08 HH08 Roos Hall: The Headless Horseman’s Christmas Eve Delivery
Go to https://linktr.ee/ghostbites to follow the podcast on its feed and hear other seasons.
Today on Ghost Bites, Mike and JT travel to the English countryside of Suffolk to explore Roos Hall, a 16th-century Tudor manor and reputedly one of England's most haunted houses. Mike details the sinister history, including the house's past as a site for public executions where a gibbet once stood. Crucially, Mike introduces the spectacular, recurring Christmas Eve haunting: a phantom coach pulled by headless horses and driven by a headless horseman, who arrives at the front door only for a beautiful, ghostly woman to step out before the whole procession vanishes. JT critiques the sheer cinematic drama of the Headless Horseman's holiday arrival, analyzes the extreme consequences of looking into the spectral woman's eyes, and questions the efficiency of a headless driver on Christmas.
