  • Loremen S5Ep62 - The Pig-faced Phantom of Chelsea

    Loremen S5Ep62 - The Pig-faced Phantom of Chelsea
    Dec 12 2024
    A strait-laced reverend meets a surprisingly seductive ghost with the face of a pig. Who will win? The pig-faced phantom of Chelsea, of course! Christmas Pig has come early. The Loremen dig into the origins of the porcine spectre, and uncover what might be one of Britain’s earliest urban legends. If you believe the tabloid press, cities were once awash with swinish visages and hoggish fizzogs. There’s Tannakin Skinker, the wonderful Mrs Atkinson and the pig-faced woman of Manchester Square. It’s all good seasonal fun. And a reminder that the past could be horrible if you looked a bit different. Or were a woman. Not like the present, eh? EH??? Seasons Scratchings!

  • Loremen S5Ep61 - The Stocksbridge Monk with Nick Mason

    Loremen S5Ep61 - The Stocksbridge Monk with Nick Mason
    Dec 5 2024
    Nick "Maso" Mason of The Weekly Planet and Mr Sunday Movies drops in from Melbourne for a chilling tale of ghosts, ghouls and... town planning. From "God's own country" (Australia) to "God's own county" (Yorkshire), we visit the haunted building site that was to become the infamous Stocksbridge bypass. Since the 1980s, this stretch of road has been associated with a ghostly hooded monk. Has he got a head? Has he got a face? Has he got a sk8er boi wallet on a chain? It's really not clear. And, as if that weren't spooky enough, we've got ghost children dancing around a maypole. If you've got 'em, put 'em on. We're talking about gilets, because your spine is going to be tingled!

  • Loremen S5Ep58 - The Durweston Poltergeist

    Loremen S5Ep58 - The Durweston Poltergeist
    Nov 14 2024
    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!
