Minisode | Holiday Lore: Ghosts of the Solstice

Haunted History

On a cold, snowy night, you hear it—a faint melody drifting through the air. The sound is beautiful yet unsettling, as if the voices belong to another time. You step outside, expecting to find cheerful carolers braving the winter chill, but there’s no one there. The singing fades, swallowed by the wind, leaving only questions behind.
Who—or what—sings these haunting songs?
Light the fire, settle in, and join us as we explore the darker side of Christmas.
Anote: In today's episode we explore the chilling legend of phantom carolers—ghostly singers who haunt the winter nights. While not based on historical events, these tales are rooted in folklore and passed-down traditions, offering a glimpse into the eerie side of holiday storytelling. Join us for a journey into the darker corners of Christmas lore.
Haunted History is produced by SoundBite Studios, with host Megan Alda and writer/researcher Chloë Kibbe. Special thanks to this episode's guest, actor and voice artist Derek Brown, for narrating and bringing these tales to life.
