Callum presents Bella & Justin with a selection of weird short stories from his collection of ghost-related literature.
The tales of Astral Projection, a hungry Japanese ghost, and the Wild Hunt chasing a Buckfastleigh squire across Dartmoor have almost as much in common as the segments of their new show: Pod Luck: The Podcast Game Show

Callum hopes Amber hasn't figured out that this one is an early April Fool's prank, but who cares when it's poem about a drunkard husband being haunted by his murdered wife's ghost in clock form.
