A Fireside Tale

A Christmas visit to a professor at Durham University becomes an evening of fireside stories, strong drink, and conversation about ghosts and the supernatural. When one of the tales begins to resemble something real, the investigators must uncover what lies behind it. This Gothic investigation is designed for a small group and can typically be played through in a single session.
