A Ghost for Christmas was a series of four short tales intended for younger listeners - first broadcast on Radio 5, back in the days when a significant part of its daily output was directed at children and teens. There is nothing childish about these stories, however, and they have been repeated on Radio 4 Extra with no acknowledgement of the age range of the original audience.

However, of the original four, only episodes 1 and 4 have been repeated in recent years - the other two remain elusive at present.

MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure:    / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn
