Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a good ghost story.
Back in 2000, the BBC broadcast a series of M R James stories, dramatized with Christopher Lee in the role of the great story-teller.
This was one of my favourites...
The Ash Tree
This is one of my faves. I first saw it in 1989:

The Woman on Black. There was a later adaptation of it with the Hardy Potter actor, but I found it rather overdone. The author actually hated the 2989 version though.
The novel makes a good read too, they actually have set it as part of GCSE studies.
I remember the Daniel Radcliffe version. 'Harry Potter and the Woman in Black', as I thought of it! I didn't like it at all. He was so wooden in it I'll be surprised if he didn't give himself splinters.
