Domecast, The News & Observer’s weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, is ready for Halloween.

The bed at the center of a decades-old ghost story has returned to the North Carolina governor's mansion under Gov. Roy Cooper. Colin Campbell tells the spooky tale.

Plus: our reporter panel talks about a lawmaker who switched political parties, a loss in court for Cooper, and what former Gov. Pat McCrory has to say about Cooper’s proposed deal on transgender bathroom access. And as always, we pick a Headliner of the Week.

Jordan Schrader of The News & Observer hosts, with Lynn Bonner and Will Doran of the N&O and Colin Campbell and Lauren Horsch of the N.C. Insider. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
