Christmas Ghost story

[Lord Lionheart]

I'm trying to recall the title of aTV ghost story play.
I vaguely remember the final scene where the main character (a man) was by a foggy river man, in the end 2 children ( a boy and girl) approached him menacingly. The boy revealing his skeletal ribs with all the flesh stripped away. I think the boy may have been playing a small harp??? Would love to know what that show was? I think it may have been a Christmas ghost story which aired around Christmas between the mid 70's to early 80's?!?!

Thank you so much. As usual Britmovie got me the answer in minutes. I would have been 9 years old when I saw this ( 1973) and it terrified me, I think I was staying up late for Christmas holidays. After a quick search I found it's being released on DVD very soon.

I didn't realize Simon Gipps-Kent was the star. I thought there was a man involved by a river?! But I do recall those awful stripped away ribs all these years later

I now have 6 and 8 year old sons that might want to watch this MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Thanks again, another childhood mystery solved!

Thanks for that. I do have a source for it though, as I now know what it's called. Appreciate the offer.
