Comedian Hannah Platt shares her obsession with cults, from our friends the Agapemonites to the tragic case of the Heaven's Gate comet-botherers. Meanwhile, James falls down an unusually rude rabbit hole. In a miraculous
James is joined by comedian Scout Boxhall to explore some Australian cryptids including at least one thing that definitely did exist. Oh, and also the terrifying Drop Bear. Check out the haunting film of the thylacine he
Phew, it's warm out, innit? Thankfully, the hilarious Amy Matthews has brought us a cask-chilled bevy of terrifying taverns and pub poltergeists. From Scotland to Cornwall (via the Midlands), prepare for a legendary lock
The dead do not rest easy - not if they've been on the Buckfast, at least. Treat yourself to a buffet of British walking deads / shufflers / deadites / whatever you want to call 'em. From a finger-nibbling zombie in Buck
Hey, Lorefolk! We have a bona fide dream-weaver for you this week! Comedian turned lucid dreamer, Dave Green joins the Loreboys to tell us about his nocturnal adventures. Apologies for the background builder noise and mi
BACK IN 2022... we recorded another ride-along. And this one is a real roller-coaster. (The emotional kind. We remained safely in the car throughout). The loreboys went to Leicester for an awards ceremony and (spoiler al

James and Alasdair meet a retired pirate experiencing a self-imposed male loneliness crisis. Starting in the ruins of Finchale Abbey, we travel back to a time before the monastery was built (don't look for it, it's not t
People are really losing their heads in this tale from old-timey Japan. James dips into the work of Lafcadio Hearn and recounts the legend of the rokurokubi. You want a warrior monk? We got one. Seeking a sinister woodcu
The Loreboys venture back to the Pacific North West for a gander at the 9 foot tall monster that terrorised a small town in 1960. "Is it a white ape? Is it an alien? Does it come in peace?" These are the questions the to
The Loreboys are joined by art historian and comedian Verity Babbs for a lesson in the Art of Murder. And the Art of Gardening. What horticultural secrets lie buried in the Italian legend of Isabella and her pot of basil
James hops in a time-travelling taxi to investigate the strange case of M. Chauffat, the Frenchman who put the snooze in “you snooze, you lose.” After being robbed of a small fortune, he fell asleep in a Soho hotel and d
A gang of burglars come a cropper in a Northumbrian country house, in this strange tale from the North Country. It's basically an 18th century Home Alone, with a trigger-happy teen, a put-upon parlour maid and a haunted
From an ABC to a haunted Zoologist, James presents another entry in the consistently and succinctly named series "Bits of Folklore From Near Where Alasdair is Going On Tour". James tells of an Aldershot wildcat, a ghost
The Loremen were LIVE in Leicester, with a bit of bloomin' Byron. We took a squiz around Newstead Abbey, old Georgie's ancestral home. And James told the tale of one crafty Jack versus a witch. Thanks to all the lorefolk
It's the big three-oh-OH! Yes, the Loreboys have turned in a triple century of episodes (depending on how you do the sums). To celebrate, James returns to his home town with a tale of a "hero of the road". The highwayman
Old York, Old York... The city so York they named it York. James has been visiting the ancient walled city, but he's here to tell Alasdair about visitations of a very different kind. The city centre is home to York Minst
