Second Hand Haunting
Callum Patrick and Olly Holmes read old ghost stories and try to make sense/fun of them.
Episodes
Amber got Callum a birthday gift of a brand new bookazine about ghosts, so they take turns reading stories about troubled young women in the 20th century who were ghosts.
Or were trying to be ghosts?
Or were just trying to find love in this crazy mixed-up world?

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

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...
