Second Hand Haunting
Callum Patrick and Olly Holmes read old ghost stories and try to make sense/fun of them.
Episodes
Callum lets Olly pick an archaic Japanese Folk Story basically at random, and what follows is a tale of extremely poor then painfully good manners surrounding the death and subsequent necrophagy of a village headman. For some reason, this puts Callum in the mood to sing.
