Haunted Railways
On this special Christmas episode we have one of our favourites – a tenuous paranormal story from the local papers, listener stories from Kat, Harper, and Becky, and then we’ll take you on a journey along some of the most haunted railways of England, as we dive into tales of ghost trains and phantom passengers. Not forgetting, of course, the slightly silly Christmas Quiz!
