The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe ghosts. Ghosts, that hop in to taxi’s. Ghosts, to which we have lots of evidence of. These spirits have been appearing for years, decades and possibly even centuries, haunting those whom offer or utilise rides to their destination. But why? Are they tethered to the road they passed upon, perhaps? Or are they tethered to the taxi’s themselves? Or even, the people involved? We delve in to all of this utilising a lot of legitimate evidence. These spirits show up in photos and videos all over the world it turns out. We connect some lines to lead us to Japanese yūrei - spirits who wander the earth, if not laid to rest properly, sometimes seeking revenge. Yes, these spirits were the inspiration for Ringu and Ju-On - The Ring and The Grudge. This is also Granville’s 2023 birthday episode which means that Kev is being a poop and making alcohol-drinking rules for Granville to abide by. This year, has quite the twist. All that and more on this week’s file.
