Callum Patrick and Olly Holmes read old ghost stories and try to make sense/fun of them.
Episodes
Amber & Callum went on holiday to Tasmania, and took in as many haunted sites there as they could (while still having a holiday).
Prepare to hear about visits to Port Arthur, the Isle of the Dead, Willow Court Asylum, the Hobart Penitentiary, and even some of their own investigations!
There's also a standalone story at 43:20 if you just want to hear that: Winston of Ward 5

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.

Fresh from their ghost hunt in a haunted lunatic asylum, Olly asked Callum to find some stories about other haunted health care facilities.
