Christopher Lee stars as writer MR James as he reads another spooky tale for the festive season.
The Ash Tree is based on the background of witches. The fear of witches which led to unfair and unjust accusation of women practising witchcraft.
A nobleman is descended from a family who benefitted from making false accusation against Mrs Mothersole a wealthy woman.
Now the family has been cursed. A large Ash tree by the stately home seems to be possessed and wants vengeance. This nobleman has no truck with superstition but he may be proved wrong.
Lee's dulcet tones masks the eerie atmosphere of the story.
