| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome once again to the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. I'm your host, Stephen |
| 0:10.6 | Novella, president of the New England Skeptical Society. With me, as always, are Bob Novella. |
| 0:16.4 | Good evening, everyone. Evan Bernstein. Hi, everyone. And Perry, DeAngeloos. Hey, how |
| 0:23.2 | is everyone tonight? So Bob, you said me an interesting item that you found on eBay last |
| 0:29.4 | week. Tell us about that. Yeah, this was, this is a great one. Actually, it was interesting |
| 0:35.6 | and it also got me a little upset when it was, it was, it's an auction, an eBay auction |
| 0:41.9 | for a haunted doll. A haunted doll. So this guy had this big blurb on the auction, saying |
