Christmas ghost stories: the crown derby plate by marjorie bowen. Tonight’s featured christmas ghost story is simply one of the best. Not particularly christmasy, it’s true; this tale focuses more on the seeping damp, the eerie winds, the endless fens, and the sheer dreariness of wintertime in an isolated house on the english coast. The woman in black is another variety of this type of tale, which tends to favour long-simmering mysterious ghosts, far less personable than the jolly.
