Production by Robert Kemp
Here is the story of a rare silly-season phenomenon, the sort of thing at which news editors eagerly grasp in this arid month when every routine source of news has closed down.
It is a letter from a Highland clergyman that sets the wheels turning. The reverend gentleman has seen a brand new kind of ghost -a Gosapher, in fact, four times larger than a bull. and possessed of an uncanny gift of telling the truth.
Interviewed in Glenbogie the Gosapher gives tongue with a vengeance, with the result that weeks of copy are provided for the Press, and not a little money made.
