0:04.7 | Her low, today's story comes from Jamie, a bird watcher. |
0:10.5 | He says, Dear Danny, I spent the summer holidays with my grandparents in Cornwall. |
0:15.0 | And one evening I met a man called Paul on a small pebble beach on the Camelestuary. |
0:19.8 | I started to meet him regularly. He would sit with his dog dog Jack always on the same flat rock. |
0:24.6 | Paul was in his 50s he was a large man of a Cornish accent. |
0:28.1 | I never saw him arrive or leave. |

1:26.0 | Thank you to Jamie for that eerie story. |
