Show Notes

The Society is settled in for Christmas with some hot cocoa and a classic Charles Dickens ghost story, adapted by Suspense! In this case, we’re listening to Dickens’ other classic ghost story, “The Signal-Man.” In this episode Sarah Churchill plays a reporter whose fascination with trains leads her to interview an old rail worker. She discovers the man is haunted by strange visions—visions which somehow involve her! Do these omens warn of tragic accidents or is the trauma of these accidents the source of these visions? Are there moments in life that we must simply accept our fate? Does this story capture the true spirit of Christmas?  Listen for yourself and find out! Please note that we’ll be taking a couple weeks off for the holidays, but we will be back in January! In the meantime, here’s a link to the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas adaptation of The Signal-Man!
