Listen "The Goblins and the Gravedigger"
Episode Synopsis
Bone and Sickle continues its holiday tradition of Christmas ghost stories, or a goblin story, in this case. Our tale about an encounter between a gravedigger, or sexton, and a host of goblins is extracted from Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella, The Pickwick Papers. Strangely, it is not Dickens’ only Christmas goblin story.
As a special holiday treat, our reader for the story beloved personality well known to all Bone and Sickle listeners.
