Listen Later

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Mr Fritz, a potentially haunted, or possessed ventriloquist doll from the era of World War Two. Billy Booth was a US soldier sadly killed towards the end of the war, just before the Prisoner of War camp Billy was captured within was liberated. Billy, a former children’s entertainer, had brought a little light relief to the camp with his ventriloquist act and to keep his memory alive, Billy’s friends sent Billy’s doll Mr Fritz to Billy’s family after they were free. The doll was freaky as sh!t and ended up being passed from owner to owner before ending up in the hands of a magician who knew how to limit the dolls now otherworldly activity for you see, Mr Fritz, continued to move by himself. It’s been said that this tale holds the most legitimate evidence of paranormal activity ever discovered. Because we said it. All that and more on this week’s file.
