The Midnight Seminar

Christmas Ghosts (Part 2)


Listen Later

In Part 2, Tara tells Doug about the history of holiday "ghost panics," public ghost sightings that had revelers out and about, hunting ghosts with clubs and rifles. Your two hosts play the role of reporter and even share some pranky histories of their own. Doug teaches everyone a thing or two about attracting apparitions.

 
Happy Holidays from the Midnight Seminar!
