I won't bring up the second spikes that South Korea has seen as soon as it opened all its nightclubs. That was not a second spike. It was one person. It was one person, one COVID positive person went into like a bunch of nightclubs and Seoul was like, nope, shut them all the fuck down. Good.

Well, we won't even know because we won't have tested them. So that person will just wander around infecting all of us. So yeah, that's all that to look forward to. But if you've resigned yourself to staying inside, as we have done, guess what? We've got some exciting news for you

on what you could wear during that time you spend inside. That's maybe got a bit of a spooky bitch theme. I've totally given it away. There's no build up to this. Guys, we're bringing back the spooky bitch merch yes we are for may why the hell not we told you it wasn't coming back till october but so many of you of us so many new spooky bitches have joined the the family since we last released that line of merch and maybe some of you even got the merch like hey I want to get another one because it's super comfortable.

I don't know what it's like where you are, but in the UK, domestic abuse calls to hotlines have gone up by 46% since the start of lockdown. A lot of people are locked in with their abusers and no

one should have to choose between coronavirus or abuse. So we are donating 10% of the profits to Solace Women's Aid, which is a London-based domestic abuse charity. So your money's going to a good cause. Exactly. So if you want some, get some. That's it. Link is in the episode description. Check it out. And now we've got some ghost stories

that you guys sent us to tell you about. Yeah. I'm excited about this. Me too. There are some good ones. Cool. So should I kick off? I've got one from somebody called Liz.

Ready. Hello, Liz. If you've got a ghost story, please send it to redhandedpatreon at gmail.com. They aren't Patreon only, obviously, because all you non-patrons are also listening to this. But that's the email that Seb handles, and he loves reading your ghost stories and then picking the best ones and sharing them with us for this. This one, again, I don't know if Seb wrote this title or if Liz, you wrote this title, but it's been called Some Habits Never Die. So Liz, when she was around eight years old, her mum worked cleaning schools. And during the summer holidays, Liz's mum would take her with her to school.

So Liz's mum gave her the option when she would take her with her to either help her clean up or to do her book reports in the library. Liz nearly always chose to help her mum clean. Yeah, like, just be like, yeah, I'll just sit here with a duster rather than sit in the library on my own and pretend to write book reports. And when Liz's mum was cleaning the school, she would always lock all of the outside doors because she didn't want people coming in and you know messing around so one day Liz was on the second floor cleaning the windows of the local high school while her mum was in a different part of the building I think empty schools are already very scary places I don't know why oh yeah

definitely all the teachers sleeping in the cupboards because they don't have actual lives they just are in school all the time remember when you used to bump into your teacher in the supermarket and be like, ah, danger, run away. Oh God, that's awful. No, no, hate it, hate it. And also when I was at school, my mum worked in the school. So seeing her around school was just even worse. Did she really?

I didn't know that. Yeah, she used to work at my school. I'd be like, hi, mum. So uncool. I know, so uncoolool so yeah liz is uh helping clean this i'm gonna say creepy school just because like i imagine all empty schools to look scary i think it's because of like i spent so much of my teenage years watching like slasher films that took place in empty schools for some reason and when she was doing this obviously she's on her own, but Liz suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. And obviously this is weird because all the doors are locked,

no one's meant to be in the building apart from her mum. So when Liz turned around to see who it was, there was a strange woman stood in front of her with her hands on her hips and a stern expression on her face. This strange woman asked Liz, young lady, why are you not in class? Liz was worried about getting her mum in trouble because she wasn't really supposed to be there, so she just shrugged. Plus, the lady kind of gave her the creeps. The woman sighed and rubbed her forehead before responding. Look, I need to get back to my class. They're taking a test. I don't have time to walk you to the principal, so please just get wherever you're supposed to be, okay? So Liz nodded, rather than questioning this woman about why she needed to be in class

when it's the summer holidays and she's only there cleaning, and the woman just walked away. As she walked, her heels clacked up the hallway before she rounded the corner and suddenly the noise stopped. Liz was a little confused about how she hadn't heard the stern woman coming up behind her, especially with her incredibly noisy high heels. And once the woman had gone, Liz ran to find her mum. Given that the school was totally locked and didn't have any security cameras, Liz's mum couldn't check and just assumed that Liz was making it all up. A few days later, while she was helping her mum vacuum at the same school, Liz saw a picture of the woman who had told her off. Liz dragged her mum over to the picture and told her that this was the woman she'd seen the other day. Her mum said, you didn't see her. And after swearing that she wasn't making

up stories, Liz's mum responded that it would have been impossible because that woman in the picture had died of breast cancer six months ago no no and she was a teacher who had taught at that school for 20 years god can you imagine dying and then getting stuck in your workplace I know and still just going around telling kids off. I can't think of anything fucking worse. What if I die and I'm stuck in this booth for the rest of my life? My afterlife? Oh no don't say that. That'd be awful. It gets so hot in here. I get so hot in here. In fact I'm wearing my spooky bitch hoodie right now as we record and I'm getting very uncomfortably hot because it's just so warm guys plug our story doesn't end there though so

obviously up until now we've established that Liz saw this teacher who died um who worked at this school but around a year later during the summer holidays there were tournaments going on at both the middle school and the high school in town Liz and her mum were cleaning the middle school when Liz was cleaning alone in the gym and all of a sudden she heard a knock at the glass door. When she looked to see what had caused the noise she noticed a woman pressed up against the glass door. Liz went over assuming that she had come to see the sports tournament. Liz tried to explain that the tournament was at the high school today. The woman responded, where? And Liz told her, the high school up the road.

The woman looked confused and responded, I didn't come from any road. It was at this point that Liz noticed. It was strange that despite the rain outside, the woman was totally dry. Poor Liz, man. Why is she just getting fucking tortured by all these random ghosts? So suddenly the woman started pounding on the door screaming, where, where, can you help me, where am I? And at this point, Liz made the top-notch decision to find her mum. Her mum actually believed her this time and ran into the gym only to find the woman had gone. Liz's mum

phoned the police who arrived and found nothing. The officer pretended not to hear when Liz questioned why the woman wasn't wet from the rain. A few days later, Liz was at home with her mum watching the news and was shocked to see the woman who had been at the school. She had died trapped in her car a few days earlier during the rain, unable to reach her mobile phone or get free from the car. So schools are haunted and Liz is haunted it sounds like. Yeah, Liz is a fucking ghost spooky bitch magnet. What's happening? Is it all that stuff that they say in horror movies where it's just like, you know, she's open to it.

She's got, what, third eye open? I don't know. She's got the sight. Oh, God, Liz. I don't know. I wouldn't want that. That's not a good thing. I don't need that.

There's enough stuff to see just in the non-ghost world. Don't need that. Fucking hell. There's enough stuff to look at. There is more things in heaven and earth than there's something something something else known to you and i ratio something i don't know something about philosophy philosophy's in there somewhere we've done this before uh listen before you all rage tweet at us about the right quote you're not here for culture

you're here for fucking cheap thrills and ghosts spooky bitch shit i don't know well thank you liz for sending that through i hope that you haven't seen anything since i feel like yeah and like children tend to see more shit than grown-ups because we just see it and then convince ourselves that we haven't seen it and then ignore it and then forget it just put it in the pain box and put it to the back of your brain. That's what I do. See kids, that's the way to do it. Exactly. That's the way to handle it. Denial. But yeah, I hope you're okay, Liz. Assuming now that you are older than you were when these things happened, if you're listening to our podcast and sending in ghost stories. But I hope you recovered and you weren't too traumatized by all of this okay right next one this is very

reminiscent of you saw you watched Gerald's Game right that's right up your oh yeah yeah yeah I really liked Gerald's Game that was so good I was probably like the best Stephen King adaptation I agree I think it's the only one that Stephen King liked. Yes, yes. Though I haven't yet watched 1922 and I hear good things about that. Oh, I haven't watched that either. No, I think I might watch that. It's got like the cover arts, like a girl in the corn or something. Yeah, yeah. It's like a field. My mum was watching it and she was like, fucking hell, it's well disturbing. I think like a rat climbs out of a woman's mouth at one point. She said, I don't know.

Oh, wicked. Okay, I know what I'm doing tonight. Okay, right. This one is called The Spooky Bitch and the Tall Man. And it's come from Kirstie. Hello, Kirstie, wherever you are. Oh, I think you're probably in Britain. Yeah.

Because of a detail of this story. But who knows? Oh, I thought you were going to say because her name is Kirstie because I feel like people in the US especially don't know how to pronounce the name Kirstie. I'm going off this purely because the Hellraiser series. I love the Hellraiser series. I know it's trash, but I do love it.

And Clive Barker, I think that was his name, the guy who wrote it, is British. But when you watch American people review Hellraiser or talk about Hellraiser, they're always like, Kirstie? How do we say her name? I'm like, it's Kirstie. I don't know why that's hard. I don't know. I knew an American called Kristen and I kept wanting to call her Kirsten.

And she was like, that's not how you say my name. And I was like, well, it is where I'm from. Sorry, your name is wrong. But yeah, I'm guessing we're going to go with that why I think this particular story is from from our end of the pond. So Kirstie says she has always been a spooky bitch. Even when she was seven, she would feel her dog jump on the end of her bed long after he'd gone to doggy heaven. She also kept her grandad's RAF jacket in her room so she could feel close to him after he died. When Kirsty's sister became pregnant, Kirsty, her mother and her two sisters had to move into a bigger house. The house was three stories high and it had three bedrooms, so her and her second oldest sister had to share. Kirsty never liked the house and never felt at home there.

She was so scared that she would make her mum sit with her when she went for a wee in the night. I'm pretty sure I did that till I was about ten, so don't worry about it, Kirsty. Oh, yeah. I was terrified for quite a long time to just be in the bathroom by myself, weeing with the door closed.

I don't know what's so scary about the bathroom. It's the mirrors, I oh yeah mirrors and also uh maybe this was just me and also just like plug holes what I don't know I just always felt like what if something came up it you know no just me or you get sucked down it also I think maybe potentially my fear of bathrooms was because I did spend the first five years of my life in India where I did constantly always feel like a snake might just come out of the plug that never happened and it probably doesn't but uh that was a big fear for me and I think I just brought it with me when I came to England. That's so funny. Did you ever watch American Gods?

No, I haven't watched that yet. It's on Amazon Prime. I really liked the first series. Season two, I sort of lost interest a bit, but it did make me read the book. Well, listen to the book. I hate reading. You all know that. But like they sort of break up the story of the protagonist, whose name is Shadow.

And it's Calvin from Hollyoaks, who's fit. Then it's broken up with like theaks who's fit then it's broken up with like the author calls them coming to America stories and like basically the premise of the the series or the book or whatever is that there are old gods and there are new gods and they never go anywhere people just stop believing in them uh so there's all these like old gods and they all come to America and try and reinvent themselves. So that's your coming to England story, just terrified of snakes. I see.

Yeah, letting go of my fear of snakes creeping up on me in the bathroom. Not that that ever happened to me ever in India, but I don't know. It was a fear in my mind. But yeah, that along with my learning to write with those red barrel pens rather than my fountain pen. I moved here is my coming to England story. Honestly, they never let me write with a pencil.

Start writing. You pick up that fountain pen, you fill it with ink and you get writing in cursive, my friend. Came here and I was like, sorry, what? I remember having to write in pencil and then like trace over it with the red pen and being terrible at it. And then having to do like handwriting tests and had to copy out the different types of handwriting fuck i hated it it was awful oh yeah yeah yeah right okay kirsty sorry we'll get back to you now so when kirsty's sister moved

out kirsty moved into the room that her mum had previously occupied and it was right at the top of the house and it was a creepy cold box room but kirsty didn't care because it was hers she always kept the door closed because the room was so cold just like your room yeah and one night kirsty woke up to see that her door was ajar and through the gap she could see an extremely tall man facing away from her. Nope. Frozen in fear, she closed her eyes and prayed for the morning. The next day she told her mum who said that she must have been dreaming. But Kirsty knew what she had seen and convinced herself that it had been her grandad who was well over six foot, coming back to see his old jacket.

It turned out to be something far more sinister. And when it came time for them to leave the creepy house and settled in their less creepy new house, Kirsty's mum decided to bring up the tall man again. It turns out that Kirsty's mum had seen the very same tall man several times when the box room had been her room. Not only that, but she woke up several times frozen on her bed to witness maggots all over the floor. What? Mum? And it turns out it wasn't the romantic vision of kirsty's granddad coming back for one last look at his raf jacket it was much more likely that it was the man who had hung himself

using the loft hatch in kirsty's old bedroom just before they moved in uh fuck that for a laugh yeah fucking hell what kirsty's mom knew this the whole time and was like it's a bargain we'll take it that's what kirsty says kirsty's like i still can't believe that my mom let me have that room despite knowing a what had happened in there and b what she had seen herself she was like yeah you can have it kirsty don't worry about it it's completely fine nothing wrong with it at all i'm gonna move into a nicer, less haunted room. In one in which somebody didn't fucking kill themselves before we moved in. And where I've had myself personally ghostly experiences.

Jesus. All right. Thanks, Kirstie's mum. That's horrible. But at least they moved out. They got out of there. They're done. No more being in the creepy house with the man.

And honestly, there's something about cold rooms. I think there's something in there. Like, I'm only hot under this box. The rest of my room, fucking freezing. Though I've never seen any maggots or snakes. It's all good. But thank you, Kirsty, for sharing that and for, you know, roundly outing your mum

during that story as well. We appreciate it. He was hip-hop's biggest mogul, the man who redefined fame, fortune, and the music industry. The first male rapper to be honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Sean Diddy Combs. Diddy built an empire and lived a life most people only dream about. Everybody know ain't no party like a Diddy party, so.

Yeah, that's what's up. But just as quickly as his empire rose, it came crashing down. Today I'm announcing the unsealing of a three-count indictment, charging Sean Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, interstate transportation for prostitution. I was f***ed up. I hit rock bottom. But I made no excuses. I'm disgusted. I was f***ed up. I hit rock bottom, but I made no excuses. I'm disgusted. I'm so sorry. Until you're wearing an orange jumpsuit, it's not real. Now it's real.

From his meteoric rise to his shocking fall from grace, from law and crime, this is the rise and fall of Diddy. Listen to the rise and fall of Diddy exclusively with Wondery Plus. I'm Jake Warren, and in our first season of Finding, I set out on a very personal quest to find the woman who saved my mom's life. You can listen to Finding Natasha right now exclusively on Wondery Plus. In season two, I found myself caught up in a new journey to help someone I've never even met. But a couple of years ago, I came across a social media post by a person named Loti. It read in part, Three years ago today

that I attempted to jump off this bridge, but this wasn't my time to go. A gentleman named Andy saved my life. I still haven't found him. This is a story that I came across purely by chance, but it instantly moved me and it's taken me to a place where I've

had to consider some deeper issues around mental health. This is season two of Finding, and this time, if all goes to plan, we'll be finding Andy. You can listen to Finding Andy and Finding Natasha exclusively and ad-free on Wondery Plus. Join Wondery Plus in the Wondery app, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify. Hi, I'm Lindsey Graham, the host of Wondery Show American Scandal. We bring to light some of the biggest controversies in U.S. history. Presidential lies, environmental disasters, corporate fraud. In our latest series, NASA embarks on an ambitious program to reinvent space exploration with the launch of its first reusable vehicle, the Space Shuttle. And in 1985, they announced they're sending teacher Krista McAuliffe into space aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger, along with six other astronauts.

But less than two minutes after liftoff, the Challenger explodes. And in the tragedy's aftermath, investigators uncover a series of preventable failures by NASA and its contractors that led to the disaster. Follow American Scandal on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. Right. I've got one here from somebody called Ellie. And again, don't know if this is your title, Ellie, or Seb's. We should check this with him. But it's called Ghost in the Gaff. So the house that Ellie lives in now

was previously lived in by a couple and one of their elderly fathers. He was old and sick, so it was good for him to be in the house. Before buying the house, Ellie's mum met the three of them and the father had been sleeping in the house. Before buying the house, Ellie's mum met the three of them and the father had been sleeping in the living room as he was too sick to climb up the stairs. However, before

the previous tenants had moved out, the old man had unfortunately died in the living room, where he was obviously using it as his bedroom. When Ellie and her family moved into the house, her mum decided to redecorate. And when she was stripping the wallpaper, she found that the old man had left his name written underneath the wallpaper. Immediately creepy. Yeah, no, don't like that. I hate that. I hate the idea of stripping wallpaper and finding something really creepy underneath it because I'd be like, well, we can't live here now because look at it have you seen that thing on the internet I'm sure everyone's seen it which is like lay carpet down but before you do like use fake blood or something and write like you're next

and then put it down so when the next people move in and strip the carpet they're just gonna see this dark red stain that says you're next on the floor I do that on my kitchen door when it like steams up oh my god with like condensation from cooking and i'll write like i usually write you're next but sometimes i'll write i know what you did sometimes i'll write help so yeah all of those things and then i wait around one of yeah exactly one of my housemates to start cooking again and then it like appears and they get really scared it's hilarious it was best the first time they are used to it now. That is so funny.

I love it. And there's the other one. Again, not very original. I've just seen this on the internet. Somebody's like, buy one of those cheap plastic skeletons. And we don't have it here. But in America, where they have all of that, like, space between their house and like the floor. Like what?

Like the crawl space? I don't know. Crawl space, yeah. Yeah. And they would just like stick this cheap skeleton into your crawl space and like cover it up with mud and things and then when somebody moves in and they go down they're just gonna find this fucking skeleton we don't have any crawl space there so i can't do that um but who knows what fun can be had my i think i've said this before but uh my mum made me crawl through the foundations of our house once when I was like 14. Let's all out our mums on this episode

for the horrendous things they've done to us that have been mentally scarring and creepy. I didn't really mind it. It was just like a weird, I remember it very clearly. But yes, so Ellie's mum is stripping all this wallpaper off and finds this man's name written on the wallpaper under the wallpaper sorry and obviously she knows that it's his name because she met all three of them remember so for the sake of respect Ellie hasn't given us his real name she's just said let's call him Jay so her mum felt as if you know she didn't really take this to be too creepy she just said that it felt as if Jay was leaving a little bit of him behind in the house. You know, he was probably quite happy there. So after a while,

it became apparent though that something weird was going on. People would hear footsteps and banging around in empty rooms. Once when Ellie was downstairs watching TV, she heard so much banging and footsteps that she went upstairs to tell her brother to shut up, only to find out that she was home alone. I hate that. I've heard things like that in this house, you know, like when my parents have gone away or something. Oh, the creepiest was my parents went away once and it was Halloween and I was in the downstairs. I was in the living room. I was in the downstairs living room.

I was in the living room with Blue. And we bought some paintings back from holiday. And one was like hanging in the corner of the room and he just went over to that corner and was just barking at this painting relentlessly he would not stop I was like begging him I he's very like food and treat oriented dog nothing could not get him away could not get him to stop barking at that painting. Painting's still there and he's not barked at it since. But I was like, what are you seeing that I'm not seeing? Because you're fucking scaring me, Blue. Stop it. Stop it right now. Oh God, that's horrible. So yeah, so she hears this noise. She realises that she's home alone. And now looking back,

Ellie thinks about that situation that it was probably just Jay having a bit of a laugh, which I think is very forgiving of her. I'd be like, what are you doing? But the thing that the family realised was that the noises and the atmosphere in the house were always at their worst when Ellie's dad was around. The thing we need to know about Ellie's dad is, unfortunately, he was abusive and generally sounds just like a bit of a dick to be honest um again i don't know ellie

if those are your words or if that's seb paraphrasing some things you've told him in your email but when he finally left the family for good the noises calmed down massively and now they just hear jay wandering around from time to time so ellie and her mum think that Jay is just a nice bloke that just didn't feel like leaving yet after he died and that the bangs around her father were just Jay's way of trying to warn and protect them about this man. So Ellie says that she thinks that Jay is just a pretty decent guy, which is just really sweet.

Oh, I like that one. I know. OK. Right, I've got one from Leilani the Savage, who comes up on Patreon quite a lot. So, hi, Leilani. And Leilani's actually got two that are kind of linked, kind of. Leilani's parents were both devout Catholics from the Philippines

and believed in seeing the spirits of loved ones three days after they'd passed. Catholics love threes. They do. They love threes. They do. They love a three. Yeah, they do love a three. And also, Filipinos love superstition and love some spooky bitch shit. Spent six weeks in the Philippines, lots of spooky bitch shit. Obviously, you guys have heard the witch story.

There's loads of shit like that. In some of the islands, you can do specific ghost tours, but you just go around and take yourself to these various different things they've got lots of like myths and folklore about ghosts and demons and things like this and i don't know if i told you guys but i went to this place called like the church of black magic mary i think i may have posted a picture of her it's fucking creepy and it's there it's just this giant statue in a glass case and it's just like she's got a skull in one hand and upside down cross in the other. A lot of shit like that. So I'm excited for this one. So as a kid, Leilani's grandparents lived with them in their family home.

Her grandfather specifically, whoever on called Lolo, was always the one to help her get midnight snacks. Her parents would often spot Leilani coming upstairs with a bowl of cereal and know that Lolo had been an accomplice. When Leilani was around three, Lolo passed away. Three days later, Leilani's mother heard the ever-familiar noise of Leilani sneaking up the stairs. And when she came out to ask Leilani what she was doing, she found her with her usual cereal bowl in hand. And when Leilani's mum asked Leilani how she got herself the cereal, Leilani said, Lolo gave it to me.

Shocked, her mum woke her dad and they both searched downstairs for any signs of open drawers, spillage or the general chaos that would ensue if a three-year-old tried to pour a two-gallon jug of milk into a cereal bowl that she would have to climb to get her hands on. And after some rummaging, her parents were utterly stumped as nobody was in the house that could have helped.

Leilani's grandmother was staying with an aunt because she found it hard to be in the house after Lolo had died. And Leilani just kept insisting that Lolo had given it to her. Oh, Lolo. Old man ghosts are cute. Yeah, we've had quite a few good old man ghosts. Yeah, I feel like they're the best. I feel like I don't want a kid ghost.

Oh, no, thank you. Because that's just equally sad and creepy. Old women ghosts seem scary. I think I'd want an old man ghost. That's it. All right, Leilani's got another one. It's not an old man ghost, I'm afraid. So apparently three years after Lolo's appearance, Leilani and her brother were upstairs playing Miss Universe with Barbies and watching their TV. That sounds like something

me and my sister would have done. They were allowed to stay up late because their parents were expecting a call from their family in the Philippines. They were arranging to fly over for the funeral of Leilani's cousin who was around the same age and had died three days before in a tragic accident. Leilani's cousin was hit by a bus while running across the street. That night Leilani got bored of playing Miss Universe with her brother and decided to go downstairs to be with her parents. Leilani left the door of their bedroom open and after some time had passed, her brother saw a girl in a white dress skip down the stairs. Assuming it was Leilani and wanting her to come back and help with Miss Universe, he chased after her. And when he got to the stairs, the girl had disappeared.

And figuring she had just been quicker than him, he rushed into the living room. When he burst in, he insisted on knowing how Leilani had changed her dress so quickly. Leilani had been wearing the same clothes all night. And even her parents confirmed that she had been sat with them for a while. Feeling spooked, Leilani's mother told their family in the Philippines the moment they rang, and they were spooked as well. They asked Leilani's brother to repeat any details of the dress that he could remember. After a lengthy set of questioning, they revealed that it was the exact dress

their cousin was currently wearing that they were planning on burying her in. Fuck. Nope. No. Little girl ghosts can't do it. No. Little Girl Ghosts. Can't do it. Little Girl Ghosts are the scariest. I don't want a Little Girl Ghost.

Scary Ghosts. I don't mind Little Boy Ghosts as much as I mind Little Girl Ghosts. Maybe it's just like my inner sexism.

fortune, and lives can disappear in an instant. When TV producer Roy Radin was found dead in a canyon near L.A. in 1983, there were many questions surrounding his death. The last person seen with him was Laney Jacobs, a seductive cocaine dealer who desperately wanted to be part of the Hollywood elite. Together, they were trying to break into the movie industry. But things took a dark turn when a million dollars worth of cocaine and cash went missing. From Wondery comes a new season of the hit show Hollywood and Crime, The Cotton Club
