According to ancient folklore, the 12 Days of Christmas, beginning on Christmas Day, mark a period when the barrier between the living and the dead becomes blurred, allowing phantoms to wander our world. What better way to honour those 12 disquieting days than with the same number of ghostly tales?

Brace yourself for harrowing accounts such as:

• The eerie hotel resident who liked to watch in Rapunzel...
• The terrible act of kindness in One Last Holiday...
• The man with death in his eyes in Deadbeat Daniel...
• The wraith who craved togetherness in Misery Loves Company...
• The unholy horror in the library in By The Book...
• The unnatural echoes that tormented a family in Upstairs, Downstairs...

And remember, amidst the sparkle of tinsel and the joy of gift-giving, the spirit of Christmas isn't always merry. Sometimes, it lurks in the shadows, eager to trace icy fingers down your spine...
