We have reached 1976 in our annual revisits of the BBC's A Ghost Story For Christmas series, and this year we have the first adaptation of a tale that wasn't by MR James. Instead we have one of the most eerie stories ever penned by Charles Dickens - The Signal-Man! 

HYPNOGORIA 250 - The Signalman

Welcome to Hypnogoria, Britian's longest running horror podcast! 

Coming to you from the Great Library of Dreams, Mr Jim Moon invites you to take a comfy armchair by the fireside to talk of all things weird and wonderful.   

Here we discuss strange cinema and spooky television, explore weird fiction and delve into the mysteries of folklore. Plus we also regularly gather by the fireside to hear readings of some classic tales of the strange and the macabre.
