    Live at The Holloway: Ghosts of St Benedict's Street, Norwich

    Recorded in the basement of The Holloway in Norwich, hidden beneath St Benedict’s Street, this episode was captured before a live audience, though we can’t promise it was only the living who joined us. We explore the rich history of the area and share eerie tales from the neighbouring street, including paranormal encounter on Exchange Street and Pottergate.

    S2 Ep29: Your Questions - part 1

    Good morning from the Norfolk Folklore Society! This month, we’re handing the microphone over to you—our lovely loyal followers! That’s right, our latest podcast is dedicated entirely to your questions, and you had so many that we’ve had to split them into two – or maybe even three! - episodes. Your curiosity knows no bounds, and we love you for it. In this first part, we tackle some truly excellent queries, including: What is the spookiest place we’ve ever been, and was it too spooky to return? Who would win in a fight—the Gildencroft Bogey or the Hikey Sprite? (A grudge match for the ages.) Have we ever visited somewhere, heard a strange story about it, and then felt the place change when we returned? What are our top recommendations for books about folklore, fiction and non-fiction? What’s your favourite fictional supernatural tale, and why would it have been better if it was set in Norfolk? And much, much more. If you don’t hear your question this time, fear not—it’s coming up in next month’s episode! Want to get involved? You can send us your folklore musings, eerie inquiries, and very specific battles between legendary beings by: Emailing us: norfolkfolkloresociety@gmail.com Sliding into our DMs Commenting on our posts on Instagram or Facebook Now, settle in and let’s get weird. With spectral handshakes and cryptid cuddles, Siofra and Stacia  💚x

  8. S2 Ep28: The Troubled Deep by Rob Parker

    01/02/2025

    S2 Ep28: The Troubled Deep by Rob Parker

    Today’s podcast stars FAN OF THE PODCAST author Rob Parker, who has written an astonishing 25 books and has just released the first in a new series of crime novels set right here in Shuck’s Own County. If you buy The Troubled Deep, we suggest you head to the very end of the book, not to solve the mystery, but to read the effusive credit to the Norfolk Folklore Society. Rob contacted us several years ago to ask if we minded him taking the concept of our podcast, changing it and creating brand new podcasters based on what we do (loosely based, we are far less thorough and thankfully no longer work at a local newspaper!) and we were agreeable, potentially for the first time in our lives. The Troubled Deep is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter James, and Elly Griffiths (who also credited us in her books, JUST SAYING) - a propulsive crime thriller and a love letter to Norfolk. It follows Cam Killick, an ex-SBS diver whose PTSD finds solace underwater. When he discovers a submerged car tied to a 30-year-old mystery, he’s drawn into a dangerous web of secrets that some would kill to keep buried. It’s thrilling, atmospheric, and undeniably NORFOLK. If you know the county, you will recognise SO many places in the book. Rob was such an easy interviewee and is, joyfully, as in love with Norfolk and our folklore and general weirdness as we are. A twin soul. Find out: what Rob’s favourite NFS story is, why he loves Norfolk and, most importantly, what he thinks is more terrifying: a dog-headed monk or a monk-headed dog. We hope you enjoy, lots of love, Stacia and Siofra Rob Parker’s website is here: https://robparkerauthor.com/books/
