And I feel like he had another one, but I can't remember. And he's had a whole array of pumpkin themed outfits. He's gonna be Coco, yes.

He's coming to the studio in a little track suit. My mom got him, hello pumpkin. And he's got a little baby grow on today, covered in pumpkin. So I feel like I've gone all out with him. With him, what about the? Dottie currently has an all in one leopard print cat girl suit with a tutu on it, cute.

And then Colby is what he knows in his world, Ghostface, but screamed to us. Oh. And it's actually got a pump on it and it all trickles down. Hang on, it's a scream like been reinvented for the younger generation. I don't know.

I don't know whether his name is Ghostface. Ghostface. But we know him as Ghostface in Scream. Right. So yeah, he wanted to be that. So I feel like they've all gone, they've gone all out. Yeah, what about Chris? No? No. I doubt he'll dress screen. Right. So yeah, he wanted to be that. So I feel like they've all, they're all gone, they've gone all out. Yeah, what about Chris?

No? No. I doubt he'll dress up. No. No. It's a nice time for it when you've got kids. So yeah, and then we're going to a little party at my mom and my, with my mom at my sister's. Wow, considering you don't like Halloween. I've got to make it fun for the babies.

You've done, yeah. Yeah, got to make it fun for the babies. You have to make a whole effort. We did go for a Halloween walk the other day. Is it like a spooky trail? Yeah, yeah, yep. Yeah. Where you look at what? It's just fucking in the dark. It's pitch black. There's speakers coming out. No, it's meant to be children. It's meant to be for children. It wasn't for children. It was just for scaring the shit out of everybody. There were speakers and then Dottie lost it when there was a little

girl like, ha ha, you want to play hide and seek? Dottie was like, fuck this, I'm out of here. Get me out of this forest. I had to get myself a box of cheesy chips on the way out to just try and calm me nerves. So we did, we've gone all out this year. That sounds fun. I've really tried my best. I've really, really tried my best.

You've done well. Next year, fuck it, I'm not doing it. I'm all out. I'm not having anything to do with it. We're not doing anything. Oh, no, not dressing up the children. I feel like after all that whole with it. We're not doing anything. Oh, no. After all that whole list of stuff like outfits for the kids, spooky trail, you've done everything. No. Are you going to at least try and get into the Christmas festivities? Christmas for sure. Yeah. But this is just like a little hump in the road. I feel like yours are just a little bit too diddy.

I feel like I need to get on board now because of the children. Yeah. Do you know what? They're too small to know what's going on. But also I feel like a lot of people with babies do use that as an excuse to like go all out, dress up the babies. I can't be asked. Okay. Yeah. Honestly, it's the best policy in all of this. Yeah, to be honest, they don't know what's going on.

I can't be bothered. Why make work for myself? I'm just wondering if I should just go home and sleep in this and then just turn up at my sister's tomorrow like, what the fuck's going down? You know, I can't, like, I can't take you seriously. You look, your face, you look so, obviously, but you look so different.

Thank you. That's what I was going for. That's the end of the game. There's people gonna see clips of this and just scroll past and think, what? Who's that? Who the fuck is on that podcast? No, you look really good.

You look great. I used to love a fancy dress, but I feel like- The older you get, the- The older you get, the less you- It wears off. Yeah, the less you care. But I am gonna go home on the train like this with these cartoon teeth.

Please do, yeah. Cause I never dress up, so I thought make the most of it. I don't know if I can, if I've got the balls to wear it. I feel like I've got very orangutan titties here. I feel like I've got a big belly and some orangutan saggy boobies there.

And what if you need the toilet? You can't go. Yeah. You've got a whole skeleton suit on. I'm not prepared to scare children on the train. No. No, no, no. Respect, though. Respect yourself, motherfucker. Well, that's enough about us. Next, we'll have some of

I'm 36 years deep now. I shit my pants on a wreck. It's too late. I can't even walk through my house at the bloody 8pm now. Well it's now 7pm, the clocks have gone back because I'm scared someone's going to jump out at me. I know. E.G. my children or Chrissy.

I know, I know. I actually did have a really weird one a couple of weeks ago. I was at home on my own, obviously, because Stefan wasn't there. He's never there. Yeah, if you don't, if you're not a regular, he's never there. Putting the kids to bed on my own and I put Joseph down and I was about to go to bed myself because obviously I go to bed very early so all the lights were off in the house just left his room closed the door about to go into my bedroom the television this has actually happened to me twice piss

off the television came on I'm uncomfortable blasting like loud volume and like bright light from the living room. And I'm like, there's no one here. Get out. That happened to me in this house and in my previous house. Isn't that weird? I think there's someone following you. Is there someone attached to you?

Turning my TV on. Yeah. So maybe they're trying to turn you on. Someone attached to me. What do you mean attached to me? You can get spirits attached to you, can't you? So it's come from my previous flat to my new house. Yeah.

Shut up. Get out, get out now. Get away from me. Spirits! to you, can't you? So it's come from my previous flat to my new house? Yeah. Shut up. Get out, get out now. Get away from me. Spirits, do not stay with me. That's not me taking the piss out of the way. That's generally what I do on a regular basis. Look, no one. Well, when Dottie started talking to me grandma, I was like, listen, Dorothy.

Oh, leave me alone. I know you're here, babes, and I'm really happy that you've found joy through Dottie, but I am telling you now, do not come through me. I do not wanna see you, I do not wanna hear you, I do not want any participant. I'm grateful for the time that we spent together when you were here with me, but wherever you are now,

I hope you're okay. Wherever you are now, fuck back off. The whole family coming, Dottie started talking about the whole family. I was like, look, all of you, I'm glad you're here, but keep me safe. Don't reveal yourself. Spirits, don't reveal yourselves.

Far back off to where you came. OK, I'll see you. I'll see you another time. See you on the other side. I'm ready for you now. OK, stay there. Right. I feel like you're going to tell me there's another one. There's another one. Yeah. Thank you, Casey, for side. I'm not ready for you now, okay? Okay. Stay there. Right, I feel like you're gonna tell me there's a fucking other one. There's another one, yeah.

Thank you, Casey, for that, but maybe not. Thank you, Casey. Get the fucking doll out. God. All right, this one's from Diane. Diane. She says, hi ladies. Sof talking about, oh, this is weird.

This is ghostly. Talking about dots seeing your relatives made me think back to when my children were little. One night as I was putting my son Keira into bed, he whispered, Mummy, the man is back. Oh, fuck! This is worth it for your reactions alone. I brushed it off thinking he was just being imaginative, but then he pointed to the corner

of the room and said, He's standing right there, smiling at me. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much that night. Who is it? Who do you think it is? Like an old grandad or something? Scrooge? I think that could be a nice thing. He's there smiling at me, looking out for me. All I can think is Smiler, you know that really scary horror film in the game? Looks a bit like this, like my teeth. Yeah.

Oh no, I can't Diane. No. I can't. I think mine, I found comfort in the fact that I did poo my pants when she first said it, but obviously when she was like, oh grandma dot's been in my room. Yeah.

I felt that nice. I don't want to know that there's someone with man stood in the corner of our room just smiling at her. Get the fuck out. Get out of at her. Get the fuck out. Get out of my house. Fucking hell, you're not welcome here. I don't know how I feel about those things. Oh Diane, has he spoken about him since?

Does he refer to him as by name? No, he just said the man, the man is back. That means he's seen him before. He's always there attached to him. I can't deal. I'm not okay with this. No, you there attached to him. I can't deal. I'm not okay with this. No, you don't like this do you?

No, it's too much for me. Is it? I'm glad there's only two. Let's cancel Halloween. There's no more, is it? Yeah, get me out. Get me out. Get me out of this.

Some people say, oh, you're doing trick or treating. No, one, I'm not getting my children to knock on the doors of strangers. And two, I don't want no randoms knocking my door. No. Again, it's the purge. It's like. You need to stop watching horror movies. I just walked, talked randoms knocking my door. No. Again, it's the purge. It's like... You just have to stop watching horror movies.

I just walk, talk to them on the ring doorbell. I go, oh, not today, thank you. Have a lovely evening. Take from the bucket and fuck off. No, I don't. The one good thing about living in London. I say that to my mum. There's no...

Yes. Mum, it's Safina, it's mum. I know, I can see you. Fuck off, Suzanne. She can take a joke. It's all right. No, I pretend I'm not in, but in London, there's no like trick or treaters really. No, I don't feel like you do it in trick or treating. I feel like you don't do it in trick or treating land.

I feel like no one does it up here. There's no trick or treating. There's no, um, there's one good thing about having no sense of community, no neighbourhood. Nobody comes around having no sense of community, no neighborhood. Nobody comes around. No sense of humor. No sense of humor. Nobody knocks at my door and I'm thrilled about it.

They go, there's that fucking miserable cow. Stay away from our house. That is the great thing about ring technology, isn't it? Yeah. You can choose to ignore people. Yeah, it's iconic, the ring doorbell. Yeah, it is. Well done then.

Well, well done to you for sending in your spooky stories. Thank you. I think that was the limit for me. Yeah, two. Just cusped over. Two is enough. Two is enough. We hope you enjoyed our Halloween special and it didn't freak you out too much.
