Summary

On this episode we catch a ride to far-off spots like Singapore and Pudukottai, India where cab drivers have encountered the kind of high strangeness you'll have to hear to believe: doppelgangers, vanishing cyclists, the sirens of the wastelands, and more! Also on this episode: Ian throws up gang signs, Brennan looks scary, and an unexpected detour through a trip to the Holocaust museum.

0:00.0	Hold hands, close your eyes, it's half past midnight, and you're listening to the ghost
0:24.8	guys. Welcome to the ghost story, guys. I'm Brennan Store. I'm Ian Gibbs, and this is a show where
0:34.6	we talk about spooks, spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows beyond the
0:38.1	campfire. Some conversations only make sense after the sun has set, and this is most definitely one.
0:43.9	Thank you for tuning in. This is episode number 47, and we're coming to you from that tiny mountain
0:48.1	cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach. How you doing, Ian? I'm doing really well. How are you
0:52.8	doing, Brennan? I am, I'm conflicted, because I had to tell a pretty big fib the other day, and I
0:59.6	don't like lying. Oh, no. Oh, no. So, all right. Is anyone pregnant? No. Okay, no, not by me at
1:07.2	least. Excellent. Guess two lies. No, no, no, this is where. So I have taken to spending my spare
1:16.7	time in quasars arcade. Okay. As I've discussed on previous that last episode, pretty normal for a
1:23.2	middle-aged man. Middle-aged, maybe not quite. Give me another year. Fuck you. Anyways, so spending
1:33.5	time there when I have time for off-work, playing pinball. Right. And I had, well, first I've had
1:38.8	two realizations, or sorry, I had a realization before I tell my story. When I was a kid in Rebels
1:43.6	we had the odd arcade pop-up. Sure. They never lasted long, because they were either badly managed
1:50.4	or were found to be conducting some kind of a legal activity. Surprise. I know.
1:56.3	But when we did have them, I remember going in as a little kid, and there were always these older
2:02.6	guys there, playing pool or playing pinball, and they always looked kind of scary, because they were
2:08.0	grown men and you're a kid. And you think, oh, man, these guys are, I don't know what these guys
2:11.6	are up to. Yeah. So I was in quasars the other day, getting some change. And this little kid turns
2:16.4	around, and he's, you know, almost walks into me. Yeah. The look of fear in his face. And I realized,
2:23.7	I'm that guy now. I'm the key older guy in the arcade. What you feared, you have become truly.
2:30.3	Because the thing is, I'm harmless, but I don't have an easy smile. I don't smile. No, you are
