About this episode
This episode explores ghost festivals from around the world, contrasting them with traditional winter celebrations.
It’s that time of year again. The air is cold, lights are glowing, and everywhere you look there’s another Christmas festival, holiday market, or winter celebration bringing people together. But tonight… we’re stepping away from jingle bells and into something a little more otherworldly. Because while many festivals celebrate joy, light, and togetherness — others honor the dead, the spirits, and the unseen. In this episode of Ghost Encounters, we’re traveling across cultures and continents to explore ghost festivals from around the world. Want to be a Patreon?
