·49 min·4 clips

A crew hears someone running fast towards them, but it turns out to be a mysterious 'pechong bro' while they're not live.

This episode of Ghost Maps features hosts Kyle and Wayne discussing paranormal encounters and the production of their horror shows. They are the creators of "Tales from Incredible Tales" and "Dead Air," sharing behind-the-scenes experiences from filming. The conversation centers on a specific, unsettling incident that occurred during production. The hosts recount an incident where a crew member heard someone running toward them at high speed on set. They initially assumed it was a production team member needing to address a technical issue like a microphone. The entity was instead described as a "pechong bro," a colloquial term often referring to a ghost or spirit. They emphasize they were not broadcasting live when this event happened. The hosts note the studio setting was Citrus Studio, not their usual Hantu HQ location. They detail the demanding filming schedule for "Tales from Incredible Tales," involving three episodes per day and early 6 a.m. call times. Kyle and Wayne express both excitement and exhaustion after wrapping Season 2 of that sister show. A surprising moment involves the hosts noticing their camera feeds showed different, unexplained angles during the incident. One host exclaims about having his own "close-up cam" that appeared spontaneously. They observe the physical set looked "very different" in that moment, contributing to the disorientation. The hosts clarify for listeners that they are currently filming "Dead Air," not "Tales from Incredible Tales," despite the similar branding. The casual mention of the "pechong bro" encounter is presented as a matter-of-fact production hazard. The discussion reveals the blurred lines between their scripted horror content and unplanned paranormal experiences on set. The tone is informal and conversational, filled with Singaporean colloquialisms and friendly banter between the co-hosts. The style blends behind-the-scenes podcast chatter with firsthand supernatural storytelling. Fans of Southeast Asian horror and behind-the-scenes media production stories would enjoy this episode. Listeners seeking a highly structured, narrative horror story might find the casual format less engaging.
