            <description><![CDATA[Telling ghost stories at Christmas is a time-honoured tradition, from Charles Dickens and his Christmas Carol, to the BBC adaptations of MR James ghost stories! <br />
<br />
So here at Fabulous Folklore, I figured why not keep it up?! <br />
<br />
In true folklore style, this ghost story is inspired by a London legend. This episode almost marks #50 so it's a bit of a landmark!<br />
<br />
Without further ado, I give you 'Midnight Screams at Holborn'!<br />
<br />
'Midnight Screams at Holborn' comes from the *Black Dog and Other Gothic Tales* collection, which you can buy here: [http://www.icysedgwick.com/book/black-dog-other-gothic-tales/](http://www.icysedgwick.com/book/black-dog-other-gothic-tales/)<br />
