Description
In honor of Halloween, I’m going to be sharing eight of my favorite Boston ghost stories this week.

And if you’re wondering why parts of the recording aren’t up to our usual standards, it’s because I was recording this after midnight, and I fell asleep in the middle of recording multiple times.
