Spirits of the Season: The Forgotten Folklore, Ghosts and Legends of Christmas
Long before Christmas became a season of bright lights, presents and family gatherings, it belonged to ghosts.
Across Britain and Europe, the darkest weeks of the year were once believed to be filled with wandering spirits, prophetic dreams, dangerous visitors and supernatural creatures. The dead returned to their former homes. Ghostly riders crossed the winter sky. Animals spoke at midnight, witches roamed abroad, and strange masked figures demanded entry at the door.
Spirits of the Season uncovers the forgotten folklore that once made Christmas the most mysterious and unsettling time of the year.
Journey through the haunted Twelve Nights and discover the terrifying Wild Hunt, the skeletal Mari Lwyd, the monstrous Krampus, the Yule Cat, Christmas witches, phantom church services and the spirits believed to gather around the festive fire. Explore the rituals used to predict future marriages, protect the household, welcome the dead and guard against whatever might be waiting beyond the lighted windows.
From cattle whispering of death in their midnight stalls to spectral congregations assembling in deserted churches, these were not merely stories told for amusement. They reflected a world in which Christmas stood outside ordinary time, when the boundary between the natural and supernatural was thought to grow dangerously thin.
Rich in folklore, strange customs and dark winter legends, Spirits of the Season reveals the older Christmas concealed beneath the modern celebration.
The fires may burn brighter now, but the longest nights have never entirely surrendered their ghosts.
