| 0:00.0 | Hello again, dear listeners, and today we're listening to another one of Linda's supernatural |
| 0:07.8 | experiences. So as October twists and turns and the night darken, and as we take a step closer |
| 0:14.8 | to Halloween, let's listen to the next installment of Linda's Stories. |
| 0:29.7 | For my 40th birthday, my husband booked a surprise visit to Craig Gnoss Castle in Wales. |
| 0:34.0 | It was to be an overnight stay with an evening dinner, a ghost talk, |

| 1:35.9 | was nothing. But then, out of the blue, the ball was thrown back. At first, I thought perhaps it was a trick of some sort, but whichever direction |
| 1:46.5 | we threw the ball. It came back to us. We were encouraged to look around and check for string |
| 1:52.5 | or anything else that would provide an explanation, but we couldn't find anything. I didn't feel |
| 1:58.7 | threatened or scared at all, just intrigued. I loved it and was quite |
