This week we dive into the mysterious forest of Hoia Baciu. Is this Romania's most haunted forest? UFOs, Ghosts and portals to another dimension all in the same place?

Dig in folks for this week’s extra-long episode. Come for legends that sprung up around the mysterious death; stay for Chris's Chandler from Friends impression, our dumb takes on modern tech, terrible Australian accents, curiously lax police investigations, proof that Neil apparently hasn’t gotten over Lost and Chris’s reviews of the hottest new PS1 games for you to play.
