Second Hand Haunting

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 grants Olly his wish of reading three tales about Japanese Haunted Houses, and the ways in which they have historically exorcised them. Olly is surprised by how... pragmatic their methods were.

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.

Callum & Amber see out the old year with something more annoying than fireworks: a spooky something that won't leave the poor wealthy Shchapoff family, and their numerous servants, alone.
Escalating from a ruckus on the roof to a sure-fire murder attempt, this Russian devil is not to be trifled with.
