    Oxfordshire Fairies

    Bring a sandwich, grab an iron horseshoe and don't be a Greedy Jack because we are going fairy finding! James returns to Oxfordshire's Rollright Stones for some genuine fairy stories. Learn real-world strategies that YOU can use to avoid falling foul of the fae folk. Don't follow the corpse lights, abstain from shooting at your neighbour's trees and steer clear of making assumption about bakers. Please. Plus, James dives into the world of 1970s publishing, and comes away an expert in sausages and kissing. Here is James's field report from Adwell Cop.

    The Durweston Poltergeist

    James tells Alasdair the spooky story of a poltergeist in Dorset*. All your polterguy classics are in play here: scratching sounds, flying objects and a young girl with a talent for throwing things while no one is looking. Prepare yourself for strange happenings in a Durweston semi, witnessed by a gamekeeper whose perception of time and space is all slantwise. Let's be honest, this episode gets a little bit silly. Especially towards the end when A-List celebrity Keanu Reeves makes a guest appearance. *Of course he would, etc. This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor. LoreBoys nether say die!

  3. The Beasts of the North LIVE in Manchester

    7 NOV

    The Beasts of the North LIVE in Manchester

    The Loremen travel to the North Country and meet the Trash Hounds of Lancashire. No, not the live lorefolk audience. We're talking tales of headless dogs, skeletal huntsmen and be-buttocked pipers. This is another episode from our "Sold Out" "National" "Tour". James brings stories of boggarts and barghests and Alasdair presents three northern eccentrics. And we briefly hop across the border to the Yorkshire village of Thickley Punchardon. For obvious reasons. Enjoy! This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor. LoreBoys nether say die!

  4. The Tunnelling Duke LIVE in West Norwood Cemetery

    31 OCT

    The Tunnelling Duke LIVE in West Norwood Cemetery

    This episode was recorded live (or at least undead) in West Norwood Cemetery, in front of a sold-out crowd. The brave lorefolk were chilled, literally and figuratively, by tales of subterranean mystery and otherworldly encounters. James told the story of an eccentric English aristocrat who took to burrowing like a badger, while Alasdair hopped aboard London's defunct Necropolis Railway. And the crematorium proved to be a spooky setting for the local legend of a West Norwood polterguy ... who liked his milk. Special thanks to Ben Van der Velde and all the organisers of the ChooSE27 festival. LoreBoys nether say die!

    Ghosts of the Road with Hayley Stevens

    The Loremen were LIVE at the QED festival in Manchester and we were joined by Deputy Loreperson Hayley Stevens. Sceptical listeners might be familiar with the Hayley is a Ghost blog, all about ghosts that (spoiler warning) probably don't exist. In this episode, we meet roadside ghosts and road-adjacent spectres from across the UK (and beyond). Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker? No, neither have we. And these modern legends might make you feel a bit better about it... This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor. LoreBoys nether say die!

    The Crooker of Derwent River with Willow Winsham

    A country walk always brings to mind certain maxims. "Stop and smell the roses," for one. "If a tree falls..." is another. But now there's a new one - "Beware the Crooker!" The boys are taken to a spooky Derbyshire riverside by historian and author Willow Winsham. You might feel a gnarly wooden finger tingling your spine in this episode. But James and Alasdair find time to ask the big questions. Where is the River Darren? How do you hypnotise a chicken? And what do you call those ski lift things where the cars are on... like... cables? Find Willow's range of books here Come see the LoreBoys LIVE in Balham on Sunday 17th November on "Who Knew It? with Matt Stewart" https://www.designmynight.com/london/pubs/balham/the-bedford/who-knew-it-with-matt-stewart-live?t=tickets This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor.

  8. The Grey Hitchhiker

    3 OCT

    The Grey Hitchhiker

    The terrifying tale of the Grey Hitchhiker (or the Gray Hitcher, for Americans) comes from that spooky road, The Notorious A38. Over several decades, drivers have made the mistake of stopping for a hitchhiker who does not obey the laws of hitchhiking (or nature). If you're driving between Tiverton and Taunton, you might see the Grey Hitchhiker. If you've reached Wrangway, you're going the wrong way. Listener, it's time to "get your gilets on" because your spine is about to be tingled. Come see the Loreboys LIVE in spooky West Norwood Cemetery on Friday 11th October 2024 (2024): https://choose-se27-comedy-festival.designmynight.com/66968247e76bce06372992c8/loremen-podcast-live-recording OR In Manchester at GRUB on Sunday 20th October (also 2024) at 2pm https://www.seetickets.com/event/loremen-live/grub/3168584 OR Back in Balham on Sunday 17th November on "Who Knew It? with Matt Stewart" https://www.designmynight.com/london/pubs/balham/the-bedford/who-knew-it-with-matt-stewart-live?t=tickets This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor.
