Hold hands, close your eyes. It's half past midnight, and you're listening to the ghost story pass.

Welcome to the ghost story, guys. I'm Brandon Store. I'm Paul Bestol.

And this is the show where we talk about spooks, spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows beyond the campfire.

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

Thanks for tuning in. This is episode number 172, and we're coming to you from that tiny mountain cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach.

Paul, my friend, how are you doing?

I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I'm just navigating the continuing streams of bullshit that invade the paranormal on top of liars pretending to be responsible for UFO incidents.

We've also got the dogman puppeteer scandal that broke earlier this week. It's all been happening, Brennan. I can't keep up anymore.

I must, I must quickly know about the dogman puppeteer because that dogman puppeteer sounds like a sweet like 2000's band name.

You know, like them and incubus could be on a double bill live in Wisconsin with a Brian Jones town mask are opening.

So this image began circulating at the beginning of the week of this very strange creature looking through somebody's window.

And obviously despite the fact it didn't look anything like a dog, it was a dogman apparently to some people at least we've got a picture of something for a chain.

However, very quickly, it seemed that all was not what it may have originally seemed.

I'm sure. And it was a gentleman. It is shocking. A gentleman who was a professional puppeteer, very talented man, who had decided to try and raise his profile,

shall we say, by claiming that he'd had an encounter with the cryptid, only for lots of other people to go back through his Twitter profile.

And notice, this looked very similar to a puppet he'd been showing off last year.

Lo and behold, he quickly began to backtrack, but not before being called every name under the sun.

And yet, there are still those.

Deluded fools. We were saying, well, he's clearly been got to the ubiquitous they got to him.

It didn't even look like a dogman, right? It looks like some kind of eagerly dinosaur thing.

So I actually know what picture you're talking about now. I clicked in my mind. I did see it.

And you know what it looked like? I won't say which, but you and I were talking about a really shit where we'll film off air a couple of weeks back.
