0:00.0	Hold hands, close your eyes. It's half past midnight, and you're listening to the Ghost
0:24.6	story, guys. Welcome to the Ghost Story, guys. I'm Brandon Store. I'm Paul Bestol, and this is the
0:34.5	show where we talk about Spooks, Spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows
0:38.9	beyond the campfire. Some conversations only make sense after the sun has set, and this is most
0:45.0	definitely one. Thanks for tuning in, this is episode number one, 142, and a comedy from that tiny
0:51.3	mountain cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach. How are you, my well-tanned friend?
0:59.8	I'm one of the few people in Britain enjoying the heatwave. I think you were the only person in
1:05.0	Britain enjoying the heatwave. Your partner posted a picture of you on Facebook where she had missed

2:05.7	arcades and they had gocarts, and I just remember this, the ground rushing up at me, and it was
2:11.3	this weird black and red-pattered carpet, I think, and I remember waking up in a bath of ice in
2:16.3	a hospital. Ever since then, I have been shit at handling the heat. So I, you know, when I was a
2:22.6	kid, I spent most of my time out at night. Day time, I would hunker down to the basement, and then
2:27.3	as soon as the sun started to set, nightmen comeeth. And that has kind of been my life ever since. The
