What this episode covers

The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe a cursed doll that continues to grow hair whilst protected from the outside world in a Japanese temple. You can visit the doll to this very day but before you do, please be warned that the doll may or may not have been on a murderous spree after devouring the life essence of it’s three year old owner. Maybe just listen to the episode instead this time, hey? Or can we science this one away?
