Across the UK, across Continental North America, and around the world, on the internet, by webcast, and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the unexplained.

Well, thank you very much indeed for a phenomenon that's been happening for the last month or six weeks or so. The numbers for this show keep leaping up and up and up and up, and I think somebody somewhere is referring to a referencing this show, maybe Bellgab or somewhere like that, but the numbers are just incredible now, so thank you very much indeed wherever you are.

For being part of this, a lot of people have been in touch by email. Can I ask you if you get in touch? Can you give me a name, tell me where you are, and how you listen to this show.

So, you know, your name, how you listen to the show, and where you are, great information for me to have. Don't worry, I'm not going to send the boys in blue or the men in black around. It's just nice to know who's listening and where they are.

Try not to use pseudonyms either. Give me a name, just so I can get a handle on you, what you want and where you are.

So, lots of shoutouts coming up. Thank you very much to Adam at Creative Hotspot in Liverpool for his hard work on the show, maintaining the website and getting the shows out to you.

It's all working so well at the moment and couldn't do any of it without you and your support over what has been nearly 10 years of doing this now. So, thank you very much indeed.

And if you have made a donation to the show at the website www.theunexplained.tv. Thank you for that.

Let's do those shoutouts ahead of the guest on this edition whose name is Richard S. Step. Now, he is a man who you may well not have heard of. He's a paranormal researcher from the US, originally from the UK, but he's also a paramedic. That's his full-time job.

And we're going to talk about a number of things, including haunted hospitals. I think you're going to find this one interesting. Let's do those shoutouts before we get to Richard S. Step in Colorado. Cody, thank you for your email.

Chris in London listening to Mark Devlin and although it's greatly entertaining says Chris, he's incredibly vague about all aspects of these controllers and why we're being deceived. Well, we hope to have Mark Devlin back on at some point and we'll talk more about the music when we do.

Good comments from Lindor who listens in Abu Dhabi, Kenya or wherever he happens to be at the time. Nice to hear from you.

P2O or rather PTO, Paul To Open made me laugh. Thank you very much indeed. Please try to use a name not a pseudonym though. If you get in touch next time but I like your email. Thank you. David in Don Kasten runs a fish and chip shop there and has invited me to get fish and chips. Great British delicacy there.

There's a big chance that I'm going to be going up there. I was brought up in Liverpool on battered card chips and mushy peas times two.

Didn't do me any harm either. Ralph Harrison, thank you very much indeed for your email. Tom Engluster found something online that is said to support the idea that you may well have heard.

The Paul McCartney died in the mid 1960s and was replaced. One of these days if we can find somebody good about this, we will do a show on it but I've got to find somebody good.

That's always the difficulty. Jimmy says hi. I love the show. You are the last radio regular voice that I've listened to since the Friday Rock show with Tommy Vance in the 1980s.

Tommy Vance, Great British DJ, went over to the US in the 60s, worked on KHJ Los Angeles. I think the only Brit who did and then came back here. Great voice.

My radio hero and I'm glad you liked him too. He's much missed. Jimmy, thank you. Jason Newman in Canada, thank you for your support.

Damien in Swanage in Dorset, nice location and nice email. Thank you Damien. Ian Shaw in a place I used to live in Broadcast, Worcester.

He used to be on Radio Waiver and back in the day. George Sellus says keep on doing the shout outs. We are and thank you George. Zachary in the US, thank you for your email and Ian Wisconsin, thank you for yours.

Josh sent me a whole bunch of phone numbers. Josh, can you let me have a clue what this is all about? Okay, Gaz in Brighton UK says I was saddened to hear Art Bell's decision to stop broadcasting and sending out once again my good thoughts to Art Bell.
