This Afternoon Play, based on the story by William Boyd, was broadcast during the Christmas season in 2001; I think there may be some discussion to be had as to exactly how ghostly it really is, much less how Christmassy - but it's been repeated over Christmas a couple of times in recent years so somebody in scheduling obviously thinks it fits the bill as a 'ghost story for Christmas'...

MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind.

I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure:  @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn
