As one of my favourite things about Christmas, this article from the BFI about filming locations for classic Ghost Stories from Christmas is brilliant 💀🎄https://www.bfi.org.uk/features/ghost-stories-christmas-how-tvs-most-haunting-locations-look-today

Ghost Stories for Christmas: how TV’s most haunting locations look today
Ahead of the latest in the BBC’s Ghost Stories for Christmas strand airing on Christmas Eve, we revisit the atmospheric locations for the original series to see how time has changed them.
