Winter brings us to the singers

[sovay]

There are honest-to-God carolers on my street. I thought they were a passing car or a radio, but they are five or six people with sheet music in hand standing on the steps at a slight diagonal across the street, appropriately next to a large conifer, singing "Ding Dong Merrily on High." I guess it is that season.

[edit] And now they are gone. I heard nothing after the last round of hosanna in excelsis and when I looked out, I couldn't see them anymore. They do not appear to have moved on to any other house; I can't hear them anywhere else on the street. If they went indoors, they sure didn't turn on the lights.

I guess it's ghost story for Christmas season, too.

Have finished listening to episode 1. Very entertaining storytelling; dubious research. I don't actually know much of anything about Lewton, but I do know a bit about Orson Welles. This podcast spent a while talking about Welles (for pretty tangential reasons), and repeated a bunch of "War of the Worlds panic" anecdotes completely uncritically. Those are fun anecdotes, to be sure, but pretty thoroughly debunked by now. So I definitely recommend it as a story, just bring your salt shaker.
