S02:E03 - John Wayne

At 6 ft 4, John Wayne is the archetypal larger-than-life character - so you'd think his spirit would be pretty easy to find. The Hell it is, as Mr Wayne might have put it himself. Gail and Chris, displaying true grit, travel to Tombstone in Arizona - the setting for several of his films - and attempt to unearth the spirit of the giant of Western movies. Alone at night in Boot Hill Cemetery, they examine their photographs afterwards and find a pair of eyes had been staring at them out of the darkness. There was no-one else there at least, no-one who was alive! With 28 ghosts reputed to haunt the Birdcage Theatre, Gail and Chris had high hopes - and they weren't disappointed. Just what is it they caught on the camera they left in the locked and empty room? And what, or who, did they encounter on the Wild Goose, the converted minesweeper that was John Wayne's pride and joy?
