Long Hanborough? Home of the Oxford Bus Museum?
Yes! THAT Long Hanborough. And once you've listened to this episode, you'll know it for more than being home to the Spice Girls' bus from Spice World (1997). You'll know it for containing a spooky cott... more
You know what they say: if you remember Finstock, you've been to West Oxfordshire. Here we discover a wealth of ghosts from James's old stomping ground. There's a 1990s spectre, an 1800s preacher and a 39000s (BCE) neanderthal. Plus, a truly chilling... more
James dives back into the well of Cornish lore and surfaces with story of undying love - and a chilling counterpart to last week's tale. It's a case of Till Death Us Don't Part in the legend of Sarah Polgrain and Yorkshire Jack, whose marriage vows e... more

My absolute most favourite podcast of them all. A great variety of stories, many I’m sure would be dull to read but really fun to hear told. And what’s better than old random stories? Old random stories told by two naturally very funny people who are friends, and clearly enjoy making each other laugh. Love it
My favorite podcast. Never thought anything would unseat Astonishing Legends but they managed it. Deep dives into old lore. I know my stuff when it comes to folklore but they drag out stories I didn't knew existed, and in a way that is refreshingly charming. Even on a bad day they can get a smile. It's like listening to the song Mmmbop. It's impossible to be unhappy while it's playing.
The Loremen are the podcast equivilent of Mmmbop. 0:)
