Thank you for finding it!

I have an unfinished story kicking around somewhere in which the main character stumbles across a talk-show in which an old actor (I envisioned someone like Peter O’Toole) is telling a surreal, rambling anecdote that keeps setting off odd echoes of the situation the character is in.

Never finished it because I was having trouble trying to convey what I wanted to convey, i.e. a ghost story in which the protagonist’s problem is that his friends listen sympathetically, but keep treating the haunting as some kind of metaphor, without it being a simple case of disbelieving him or saying that it’s all in his head—i.e. they can accept supernatural events, but they still try to interpret them as having some symbolic meaning rather than just being what they are.
