Summary

Halifax, Nova Scotia is a city with no shortage of tall tales, folklore, and urban legends. The story of the Glove Guy may be stranger than all of them. It’s a common experience for men in Halifax… a friend of a friend was said to have had accepted an offer for a free ride home from downtown late at night, only to clumsily reveal a leather glove fetish along the way. So get in, sit down, and put on your seat belt. In this episode Madelayne Klein and I discuss four listener contributed stories of late night encounters with the enigmatic glove guy.
