Boggart and Banshee: A Supernatural Podcast Chris and Simon

Chris and Simon set the bar high in this uplifting episode on the mysteries of levitation. Watch our intrepid pair as they soar through cases of saintly and fairy levitation. Simon floats, too, the unbearable lightness of mystic beings, while Chris brings suspect Spiritualist levitations by Daniel Dunglas Home and the Davenport family down to earth. Our daring duo ponder the story of Mrs Guppy's three-mile flight across London in her pjs and wing it on that impossible  question: can humans really become lighter than air?

Join hosts Simon and Chris as they delve into modern fairy encounters in a special episode dedicated to the Fairy Census. The Census (freely available online) now brings together almost 1000 records of bizarre, moving and sometimes terrifying contemporary run-ins with the fey. Our fairy-ridden duo offer a sneak peek at what new experiences and patterns to expect from the forthcoming second series of the Census. Then most importantly they ask for help. Can you send in your own meeting with the fair folk and help round off Fairy Census 2? As the episode is published some ten slots are still waiting to be filled!

Embark, with Simon and Chris, on a journey to meet the immortals who hide among us. Marvel as the duo unravel the mysteries around elusive figures like the Wandering Jew: he who defies time while indulging in cliff jumps, beer and botany. Goggle as our friends encounter undying ones scattered across the globe: from the Count of Saint-Germain to prophetic hitchhikers. And brace yourself for life-changing questions. Can consuming mercury unlock the gates to immortality? Do angels have beards? And, most importantly, did Victorian Bath host a two-thousand-year-old beggar? All is revealed in this month’s episode of Boggart and Banshee.
This number is accompanied by a source book: Meeting an Immortal: Encounters with the Wandering Jew in British Folklore.

For the bridal month of June, Chris and Simon discuss wedding divination and love charms both racy and grim, as well as the links between weddings and death. Unlucky wedding omens and dress superstitions, brides stolen by the Good People, trousseaux shrouds, and a special guest appearance by the versatile St Joseph. Adult content? Perhaps too much...

Chris and Simon delve into the mystery of the miniature coffins and their doll-corpses, found on Arthur’s Seat in 1836. Who made them and why? Are they murder memorials, malign magic, or outsider art? The redoubtable pair look at funerary fashions, toy soldiers, and the Odd Fellows fraternal order and bicker about how best to curse your enemy. 

Zombies and Draugar and Byland, oh my! Simon and Chris discuss a series of unique supernatural tales from Byland Abbey and fifteenth-century Yorkshire. There are revenants who talk through their entrails, very busy shapeshifters, and a revolving hay-cock with a light in the middle. Questions are raised about why the soul hangs around its rotting body, and what the purgatory do all these walking dead want. Chris herself turns very briefly into a zombie and both Chris and Simon mourn a dog.
