Eldorado Posted December 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2020 “It always is Christmas Eve, in a ghost story” – Jerome K.

They gathered around the fire as the parson, who sat in a high-backed oak chair, proceeded to tell of goblins and ghosts. The squire, not a superstitious man himself, listened intently as the parson spoke about the crusader who rose from his tomb for a nighttime ride. The old porter’s wife added to the tale with her own of the crusader’s march on Midsummer Eve, when fairies became visible. Such was Christmas Night at Bracebridge Hall, England, in 1820.
