Speaker 2 (08:03):
I certainly now if we turned out all the light,
I'd go right out with them.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Anyway, all ghosts they fall off.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
What makes you think so, Roda, Because if.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
They were real, they wouldn't need darkness.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
If you could bring a ghost into this lighted studio,
I might believe in one good.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's just what I will do, Rother.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Oh, now, wait, if they're going to make me sing things.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You wan't see things because you're going to shut your
eyes and keep them shut.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
How do you know I'll keep them shut?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'll show you first. I raise my forefingers and point
them toward your eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yes, what make well? Close your eyes closing? And now
I place my four fingers gently against your eyelids.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes, I hear them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
There, now here comes the goots.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Hero, Wait, tap my ponehead twice and.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
They're good to my head. You know I'm going to
take my fingers from your eyelids. Now open your eyes.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
What do you see? Well?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I see your third thing is still pulling at me.
Speaker 2 (09:07):

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Oh no, it's vanished unless the ghost with Alan, Well,
I couldn't have been.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
The ghost roller And way over here at the other
side of the studio.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I'll so you are somehow this is getting uncanny. Don't
tell me it was just a trick.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And that's all it was, Rhoda.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And if you can't figure it out, I'll be back
in a few minutes to explain the ghost trick.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Oh now, Blackstone, what about that ghost trick?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It really has me?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Therefore, well, i'll demonstrate with Alan and you can watch.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are you ready, Allen?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Ready, I point my two forefingers straight at Alan's eyes
and telling him to close them.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I've closed them.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Now, Alan, i'd place a four finger lightly on each
of your eyelids.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Only you watch, Rota and see what I really do.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Why you moving your left hand away?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Correct? And what am I doing with my right hand?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Well, you're spreading two fingers, the first in the second
like a letter of B.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Now watch you're placing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Noose fingers against Alan. Dinand.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I I feel those fingertips, But do you mean they're
both from one hand?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Alan the right hand, and here comes the spirit slept.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
On your pollet.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Blackstone's left hand is that Alan?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So I'd have been willing to bet it was a ghost.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And so would I the time it happened to me.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Now I draw away my right hand and bring my
left beside it. Open your eyes done, and what do
you see? Two four fingers pointing right at me, one
from each.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Hand, And you'd never guess that they weren't the two
fingers that held your eyelid shut.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I said, I didn't get, But.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Now you know, Rhoda.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And anytime your friends say they don't believe in spooks,
just pool them with a ghosting.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
What makes you think so, Roda, Because if.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
They were real, they wouldn't need darkness.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
If you could bring a ghost into this lighted studio,
I might believe in one good.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's just what I will do, Rother.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Oh, now, wait, if they're going to make me sing things.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You wan't see things because you're going to shut your
eyes and keep them shut.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
How do you know I'll keep them shut?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'll show you first. I raise my forefingers and point
them toward your eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yes, what make well? Close your eyes closing? And now
I place my four fingers gently against your eyelids.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes, I hear them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
There, now here comes the goots.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Hero, Wait, tap my ponehead twice and.
Speaker 1 (08:54):

take my fingers from your eyelids. Now open your eyes.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
What do you see? Well?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I see your third thing is still pulling at me.
Speaker 2 (09:07):

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Oh no, it's vanished unless the ghost with Alan, Well,
I couldn't have been.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
The ghost roller And way over here at the other
side of the studio.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I'll so you are somehow this is getting uncanny. Don't
tell me it was just a trick.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And that's all it was, Rhoda.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And if you can't figure it out, I'll be back
in a few minutes to explain the ghost trick.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Oh now, Blackstone, what about that ghost trick?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It really has me?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Therefore, well, i'll demonstrate with Alan and you can watch.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are you ready, Allen?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Ready, I point my two forefingers straight at Alan's eyes
and telling him to close them.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I've closed them.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Now, Alan, i'd place a four finger lightly on each
of your eyelids.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Only you watch, Rota and see what I really do.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Why you moving your left hand away?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Correct? And what am I doing with my right hand?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Well, you're spreading two fingers, the first in the second
like a letter of B.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Now watch you're placing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Noose fingers against Alan. Dinand.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I I feel those fingertips, But do you mean they're
both from one hand?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Alan the right hand, and here comes the spirit slept.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
On your pollet.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Blackstone's left hand is that Alan?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So I'd have been willing to bet it was a ghost.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And so would I the time it happened to me.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Now I draw away my right hand and bring my
left beside it. Open your eyes done, and what do
you see? Two four fingers pointing right at me, one
from each.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Hand, And you'd never guess that they weren't the two
fingers that held your eyelid shut.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I said, I didn't get, But.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Now you know, Rhoda.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And anytime your friends say they don't believe in spooks,
just pool them with a ghosting.
