Summary

In the late 1990s in Sydney, Australia, Damon hangs with an eclectic, vibrant friend group in an old Victorian share house. They don't talk about the man that watches them. Because the Shadow Man is always watching.

**Spring is springing here at Podcast HQ so we're sneezy and Benadrylled up and excited to share this slow burn from Down Under. One of the greatest pleasures of producing this show is hearing from you and hearing stories from literally all around the globe. To that end, I have a show bucket-list request: I want an Antarctican ghost story! Does anyone know a scientist at McMurdo, a cook working in a restaurant in the bottom of the world, a weather observer out on the plains that has seen something they cannot explain? Send them our way! Thanks as always for supporting our show in the myriad ways that you do!
