It's traditional to tell ghost stories on Christmas Eve. In many countries, it is said to be the day when the veil of the worlds becomes thinner and ghosts appear among people.

 Obviously we had to take this opportunity to share some Norfolk ghost stories, in a special slightly longer episode of our Christmas Countdown.

Sleep well...

Christmas in Norfolk hasn’t always been plain sailing. During the English Civil War, the Puritan-dominated Parliament passed legislation to abolish Christmas and other religious festivals, viewing them as popish and an excuse for excess and immorality. A full ban on celebrations was enacted in June 1647.

Guess how Norwich reacted?
