Fireside Ghost Stories
Fireside Ghost Stories originated from my annual Christmas Ghost Stories, when listeners told me they would prefer not to wait a whole 12 months until the next scary story.
I’m Jon Briggs, and once a month I now gather those listeners back to the fire for a monthly ghost story, written and read as these tales once were: slowly, intimately, and with room for unease to settle. These are stories of voices that return, places that remember, and moments where something is almost explained but never fully resolved.
If you first found these stories at Christmas and felt they lingered with you enough to want more, Fireside Ghost Stories is where that tradition continues.

Fireside Ghost Stories
Monthly original ghost stories, that need to be crafted and recorded with care.The Worm Moon is the traditional name for the full moon that appears in March.
As winter loosens its grip and the ground begins to thaw, earthworms reappear in the soil — drawing birds back to the land. The moon marking that thaw became known as the Worm Moon.
It signals transition.
Our full moon rises over a quiet farmhouse where the winters are no longer as cold as they once were. When the ground begins to shift in the night, what first feels like subsidence becomes something far older — and far less willing to remain undisturbed.
Written and read by Jon Briggs – the original UK voice of Siri and the voice of the BBC’s The Weakest Link.
