Da Silva Linings Ghostbook

Halloween Special 5 (2025)

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 19:00:00 +0000

It’s Halloween again, and things are not quite as planned. Carrie’s ready to call time on the Ghostbook, but Sylvester has other ideas — and apparently, news.
From strange happenings across the pond to suspicious goings-on closer to home, this year’s episode veers between ghost stories, gossip, and the kind of revelations that make you wonder whether “the other side” has better organisation than they do.

Expect spirited debate (literally), questionable qualifications, and one haunting that’s oddly… polite.

Content note

Mild spooky themes, playful scares, and one or two mentions about a man called Turnip, and the boys.

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Rewind with Carrie through the "best" moments of their past Halloween specials to see if they’re any clearer in hindsight. (Spoiler: They absolutely aren’t.)

Get ready for hauntings, hilarity, and a whole lot of head-scratching in the Best of the Halloween Specials.
