An elderly woman with dementia begins having strange experiences on the week before Christmas, and seems terrified of an impending visitor. Christopher, a care assistant at the old people's home, wonders what it can all mean in this original short story written by Jasper L'Estrange.

"It always is Christmas Eve in a ghost story..." (Jerome K. Jerome, "Told After Supper")*

* "It always is Christmas Eve, in a ghost story,

"Christmas Eve is the ghosts' great gala night. On Christmas Eve they hold their annual fete. On Christmas Eve everybody in Ghostland who IS anybodyβ€”or rather, speaking of ghosts, one should say, I suppose, every nobody who IS any nobodyβ€”comes out to show himself or herself, to see and to be seen, to promenade about and display their winding-sheets and grave-clothes to each other, to criticise one another's style, and sneer at one another's complexion...

"...Oh, it is a stirring night in Ghostland, the night of December the twenty-fourth!"

- Jerome K. Jerome
