Hold hands, close your eyes, it's half past midnight, and you're listening to the ghost

0:24.8

guys. Welcome to the ghost story, guys. I'm Red in store, I'm Paul Bestil, and this is the

0:34.2

show where we talk about spooks, spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows

0:38.8

beyond the campfire. Some conversations only make sense after the sun has set, and this is most

0:44.8

definitely one. Thanks for tuning in, this is episode number 134, and we're coming from that tiny

0:51.2

mountain cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach. How are you Paul? I'm all right, we're doing

out for a stat, but he was very nice, especially after he cut his tongue off during his set as well,

2:08.7

and through a blood soaked baby into the audience and things. So yes, it was very entertaining,

2:15.2

I forgot what it was like to have fun in that kind of environment. So yes, and I wasn't the oldest
