Every year – journalist and broadcaster Jon Briggs (also known as the original voice of Siri on your iPhone in the UK) has recorded a haunted tale – thrilling enough to freeze your mulled wine and send shivers down the back of Santa’s neck. These tales of the supernatural are collated here for your delectation and delight from 2015 onwards. You will remember to come back next Christmas…won’t you?
