    Loremen S5Ep38 - Bedtime Stories at the Midnight Library

    The Loremen have been transported back to the Midnight Library, and Miranda has a selection of bonecurdling bedtime stories to horrify and delight you. These are original tales from the shelves of the Midnight Library, and they get rather grisly. Younger listeners and the timid-of-ear be warned!

    Loremen S5Ep37 - The High Peak Beast

    Loremen S5Ep37 - The High Peak Beast

    If you manage to guess the nature of this episode's cryptid then please write in and claim your prize!

    Inspired by Steve Cliffe's Moor Mysteries, James and Alasdair return to Derbyshire's Peak District. The Loremen are on the hunt for stones adorned with strange carvings. We're on the hunt for the truth about Parma Violets. And we are on the hunt for the most surprising beast in the podcast's history.

    You are going to be stunned. Don't look at the episode graphic.

    Loremen S5Ep36 - The Old Man of Monterey Bay

    Loremen S5Ep36 - The Old Man of Monterey Bay

    The Loremen return to the good old U S of America.

    Inspired by a gift from a listener, the boys head to Monterey Bay, CA, and tangle with a whole bunch of sea beasts. (Or should that be school? Pod? Flock? What is the collective noun for aquatic cryptids?) We meet the monkey-faced Old Man of Monterey (AKA Bobo) and some real-life red-haired sea serpents.

    So join us, under the sea! It's enchanting!*

    *Yes that is a veiled Back To The Future reference. Yes, James wrote this blurb.

    Loremen S5Ep35 - Oxford Mysteries LIVE Part 2 (with Bonus)

    The Loremen lived again - again! This is the second installment of the live show recorded in Oxford (famed birthplace of the comma) as part of the Saint Audio Podcast Festival. James guides our live audience around the spooky environs of Oxford, this time courtesy of John Richardson's Oxford & County Ghost Stories.

    In Part 2, the boys encounter a pair of workmen's ghosts up the Woodstock Road, we witness a clay-tastrophe and James manages to squeeze in a bonus story that he had ran out of time to tell in the live.

    The full Livestream is here:

    Loremen S5Ep34 - Oxford Mysteries LIVE Part 1

    The Loremen lived again! This episode was recorded in Oxford (the Cambridge of Oxfordshire) as part of the Saint Audio Podcast Festival. James takes Alasdair and a live lorefolk audience on a tour of the county, courtesy of Mike White's book The Ox-Files.

    In Part 1, the boys encounter an apparition in Burford, a haunted cellar and a teeny-tiny crocodile (deceased).

    Apologies in advance for James's American accent. Part 2 is coming next week, but if you can't wait then the full Livestream is here:

    Loremen S5Ep33 - Bamburgh Castle and The Laidly Worm

    Loremen S5Ep33 - Bamburgh Castle and The Laidly Worm

    Welcome to Bamburgh Castle! Make yourself at home, especially if you're name's Lancelot du Lac. Don't mind the enormous venom-spitting toad. There's a funny story behind that, actually. It's the Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh...

    The boys visit Bamburgh, possibly England's most dramatic castle, rising up from the waves on a volcanic dolerite outcrop. And the legends surrounding the ancient Northumbrian settlement are no less dramatic. We're talking phoney ballads, wicked stepmothers, loathsome dragons and the mountain bard Drunken Frasier. Sorry, Duncan Frasier.

    Plus, a cameo from legendary northern car dealership, Reg Vardy.
