I'm a huge fan of traditions, and one of my absolute favorites is our annual reading of 'The Legend of Stingy Jack'. There's something about the Devil getting tricked and our "hero" Jack still getting what comes to him that makes this story almost perfect.

The ghost in 'A Misfit Ghost' is exactly the kind of specter you'd like to come across in real life. Pretty much the exact opposite of 'The Phantom Hag'.

This week I have two new ghost stories for you, as well as our annual telling of 'The Legend of Stingy Jack'. Our first tale is a properly creepy ghost story from a small town in France.

Our final Slavic tale of the week attempts a new way to teach the time honored lesson "If you're good and kind, you'll be rewarded. If you're rude, you'll send up dead." A bit on the harsh side for sure, but probably pretty effective in its own way.

Today's Slavic folktale is a story of a husband and wife who love each other very much, and is very reminiscent of 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon'.
