After they give their own advice they hear what Echo Bodine: self proclaimed ghostbuster, psychic, clairvoyant, and spiritual healer, said to Amy back in '02.
To shake off that horror, they play a little game to test if Jess REALLY IS in...

Fresh from their ghost hunt in a haunted lunatic asylum, Olly asked Callum to find some stories about other haunted health care facilities.
He hit the jackpot, because apparently the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Brisbane's Royal Children's Hospital, AND Adelaide's Women's and Children's Hospital are all haunted!

Callum & Olly read about some bona fide South Australian maritime ghost lore. Well, the ship was named after Kooringa in SA, anyway.
It was built in NSW, sailed from VIC to QLD, and was designed by a massive Carlton FC fan who didn't ever want to leave his baby, even after he died...

Callum hopes Olly hasn't looked at the date yet and hits him with some baffling old poetry about a headless pirate that haunts those involved in his untimely death.
To lighten the mood, he follows it up with a delightful poem about a thieving bird's redemption.
And they're both definitely accurate accounts of things that totally happened, we swear.
