It’s the sexton’s job to tend the graveyard, and he has some spooky stories to share.

Presented by Joshua Alan Doetsch

The sexton is charged with tending the graveyard, chasing away body thieves, and listening for the telltale sounds of a poor wretch buried prematurely. He’s happy to tell you a few macabre stories while he takes a break. Enjoy a reading of a few classic works of gothic horror, as well as one original penny dreadful.
