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 Brenna Store, I'm Paul Bestel, and this is the
0:33.9	show where we talk about spooks, spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows
0:38.0	beyond the campfire. Some conversations only make sense after the sun has set, and this is most
0:43.9	definitely one. Thanks for tuning in, this is episode number 106, and we're coming to you from that
0:49.2	tiny mountain cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach. How are you Paul? I'm very well,
0:55.3	how's yourself? I am good, I have freshly shaved my head, which I always feel very easy breezy
1:03.2	after I do that, you know, I, our listeners will know I'm a I'm a balding man I have been since I was

2:08.9	and I thought, Jesus fucking Christ, it's time to cut my hair, okay. So I today busted out the razor,
