Episode 35 – The Ghost of Christmas Presence




BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast show

Summary: A very special holiday episode is assaulting your ears this Christmas Eve! In this one, we bring back the tradition of telling Christmas ghost stories. (Yes, it used to be a real tradition! Listen to that one song I’ve forgotten the name of.) First, Cody tells of the ghosts that haunt Hawkhurst Rd in Kent, England ONLY on Christmas Eve. Chris’s first story is about a ghost that may have saved the life of the author from a vicious sink attack. Cody then talks all about Roos Hall, another haunted place in England where a festive carriage driver visits every year. Chris’s second story is a very touching telling of a loved grandma and her rocking chair. Instead of BS Weekly, we tell of holiday traditions from some of our listeners. This week’s drinks are Prancer &amp; Vixen White Zinfandel and Intrinsic Cabernet Sauvignon.<br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&amp;refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&amp;isi=691797987&amp;ius=googleplaymusic&amp;link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idyya5igdpxb6ahq7jk367nvtze?t%3DBSP:_The_Idio%255Bt%255Dsynchrasy_Files%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> Advisory: 0:00s-0:13s<br> Intro Music: 0:13s-0:42s<br> Intro/Topic: 0:42s-3:22m<br> Drinks: 3:22m-9:41m<br> Hawkhurst Road: 9:41m-13:04m<br> Whispers:  13:04m-18:27m<br> Roos Hall: 18:27m-25:05m<br> Rocking Chair: 25:05m-29:17m<br> Skeptic: 29:17m-35:55m<br> Believer: 35:55m-38:38m<br> Listener Traditions: 38:38m-45:48m<br> Sign Off: 45:48m-46:35m<br> Outro Music: 46:35m-47:08m<br> <br> Original Music: “Berghain” by Monkey Warhol<br> <br> Links:<br> <br> History:<br> <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-do-ghost-stories-go-christmas-180961547/">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-do-ghost-stories-go-christmas-180961547/</a><br> <br> <a href="http://christmaspast.media/christmas-ghost-stories/">http://christmaspast.media/christmas-ghost-stories/</a><br> <br> Helper Ghost:<br> <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/Mandatory/ghost-stories_b_8296528.html">https://www.huffingtonpost.com/Mandatory/ghost-stories_b_8296528.html</a><br> <br> Rocking Chair: <br> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/a8kfw9/christmas_ghost_stories_were_a_big_part_of_my/">https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/a8kfw9/christmas_ghost_stories_were_a_big_part_of_my/</a>
