S4 Ep. 12: Haunted Holidays

This week, I wanted to draw attention to the reason for the season: ghost stories. An old tradition from the Victorian era was to tell ghost stories over the holidays in front of a roaring fire and I think it’s a tradition that should be rekindled.

This episode contains a little communication history, cave drawings, a little Dickens (among others), and a special holiday treat.
