It’s getting near to Christmas, and while it is a time for Nativities and Santa for many, it is also the time of year when many of us will search the Christmas TV Guide to see if there are any good ghost stories being shown. Stories from MR James, ER Benson and Charles Dickens will be guaranteed to send shivers up our spines. And don’t we love it!?
Of course, some of the TV programmes will be repeats from many years ago – but several are very hard to beat! John Mills in The Signalman or Michael Hordern in Whistle and I’ll Come to You are good examples. But hopefully there will be new ones and it is likely that Mark Gatiss of The League of Gentlemen and Sherlock will be involved given his encyclopaedic knowledge of ghost and horror stories.

So which of you out there like ghost stories? Why don’t you post a reply to this article which sets out your favourite story, the author and the reasons why it is your favourite?
However, there might be some who have had personal, real experiences of things that they cannot explain. If so, then perhaps you might like to send me the details at editor@gboomer.co.uk. Simply provide your name and contact details, together with a description of your experience. This should answer the simple questions of: Who (was involved); Where (it took place); When (day/ date/ time of year/ time of day); Why (you were there); What (you were doing); How (things happened); Weather. All such responses will be treated in strict confidence.
