[00:45.47]"A soldier in the Great War was lurking 2 in the trenches,
[00:49.81]with bullets whizzing around his ears,
[00:53.15]when suddenly he noticed beside him his own ghost.
[00:58.34]It was identical in every detail,
[01:01.50]and he was naturally astonished.
[01:04.90]Seconds later this poor chap was struck
[01:08.43]in the head by an enemy shot,
[01:11.62]and was killed instantly.
[01:14.40]But strangely, he recalls
[01:16.80]then holding his own dying figure in his arms,

[01:23.26]that was beside him!"

[01:31.95]I then looked at Blake,
[01:33.66]who appeared so petrified 3 he was speechless.
[01:37.67]I found it quite odd
[01:39.46]that these three chaps knew so much about ghosts.
[01:43.85]They seemed to be
[01:44.64]more than mere 4 students of the college,
[01:47.70]and indeed I morbidly 5 started to fear
[01:51.11]what exactly they were.
[01:53.48]However, I quickly dismissed these thoughts,
[01:57.08]and seized the chance to reveal some ideas of my own.
[02:01.96]"This is all preposterous 6!"
[02:04.16]I shouted above the blaze of the fire.
[02:07.06]"What?" demanded Blake,
