January 12, 2023 S4 Ep29: Loremen S4 Ep29 - Jan Reynolds and The Devil
Crash! And the church steeple crumbles to dust. Parishioners - dead! The sermon - a write off.

This episode raises many questions. Is James Shakeshaft folklore's answer to Quenetin Taratantino? Was The Great Thunderstorm of Widecombe-in-the-Moor the work of ball lightning, or the Devil himself? Can the loreboys go a full episode without a Bowie impression?

(Sadly, only one of those questions is answered. And the answer is: no, of course not.)

December 15, 2022 S4 Ep25: Loremen S4 Ep25 - The Dragon of Norton Fitzwarren with Lexx Education
Not one but TWO guests this week! The boys are joined by comedian Laura Lexx and her normal brother Ron (aka the Lexx Education podcast). Brother Ron brings in a local legend that's really quite unique. Really. In fact, the "Meat Dragon" of Norton Fitzwarren may not exist at all outside of Ron's fevered imagination.

December 08, 2022 S4 Ep24: Loremen S4 Ep 24 - The Ghost of Dudley's Castle
What connects Queen Elizabeth I with a pond in Oxfordshire that just won't freeze? The answer is the ghost of Dudley's Castle. And we're not talking about Dudley Castle in the West Midlands. We're talking about Cumnor Hall, home to Robert Dudley and his ill-fated wife Amy Robsart.

Prepare thyself for a Tudor tale of betrayal and death by misadventure. And look out for a triptych of Loremen staples - a poem, an accent and a blowing of something wide open!

December 01, 2022 S4 Ep23: Loremen S4 Ep23 - Ghosts Over Ilmington
The Cotswold village of Ilmington is home to a surprising number of spectres. True, several of them might be the same horse seen from different angles, but when have little things like "proof" or "reason" stood in the way of an episode of Loremen?

This outing also includes a couple of lessons in old-timey film-making and the fundamentals of time travel. (Just basic stuff like whether driving into a cart full of manure is good or bad.)

November 24, 2022 S4 Ep22: Loremen S4 Ep22 - The Ruskington Horror
As a special treat for our 150th episode, we only went and did a LIVE STREAM! It was quite the ride. Alasdair was ever-so tired, poor lamb. (Watch the whole thing here https://youtu.be/WEeaSbYjhUw)

Despite the fatigue, Alasdair managed to frighten James with a celebrity* endorsed ghost story from the featureless fens of Lincolnshire.

*Sure, it's Richard Madeley, but it still counts. He is on the telly.

November 10, 2022 S4 Ep21: Loremen S4 Ep21 - Dickie's Screaming Skull LIVE
Do you remember Halloween? It wasn't ages ago! This year, James and Alasdair commemorated old Samhain with a super-spooky livestream. Sorry, liveSCREAM.

James tells Alasdair the story of Dickie - the Screaming Skull of Tunsted Farm. It is a tale as old as time: a human skull that, if removed from a house, causes all sorts of trouble. But that's just the beginning of this Derbyshire legend. We also meet some of the largest nots you've ever heard of. You might even call them Hugenots.
