Some Norfolk Saints (and some not Norfolk Saints)

We are a bit late this month, sorry!! We also have a very chaotic guest so prepare yourself for weird noises, and slightly distracted conversations. But enough excuses! In this episode, we're talking all about Norfolk's saints. We explore the lives of some homegrown saints, those who visited the county, we chat about our favourite saints, and imagine what we might each be the patron saint of. And of course we go off on plenty of saintly tangents.

The Man on The Lowes

In this episode we head back to South Norfolk for an unusual story. One that was collected by a local author and we think it has only ever shared in print once. Prepare yourself for some wild speculation on who, or what, might be following lone travellers along The Lowes.

Creatures from the Norfolk lagoons

In this episode, we dive into murky waters to compare Norfolk and Suffolk folklore with one of Universal Studios’ most iconic monsters: the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Stacia kicks things off with a synopsis of the 1954 classic, and from there we rummage through our archives to come up with some, admittedly tenuous, parallels between the Black Lagoon’s mysterious creature and East Anglia’s own creatures of the deep. We also take a little look at the South American folklore said to have inspired the Creature. There are surprisingly a lot of similarities between those original tales and our East Anglian folklore creatures. Side note: if you hear knocking, your house isn’t haunted… one of us kept tapping the table.

Mummies of Norfolk

In this episode on our theme of Hollywood Monsters, we’re unwrapping Mummies. Norfolk is linked to the most famous mummy of them all, but we've chatted about that before in episode 88. Today we discover a new-to-us local mummy story, a Norfolk Mummy which never came to Norfolk and we ask the important question: who exactly is Portland Bill? *Bit of a naughty swear right at the very end, but it made me laugh a lot - Siofra

Vampires of Norfolk

In this episode we discuss vampires of Norfolk. It may seem like an unlikely combo, but Norfolk has some surprising links to the classic monsters. It looks like this might be the start of a series...werewolves next!
