They say better late than never right?! Well, last year we led an evening walk around Sweet Briar Marsh, hosted by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.We shared marsh folklore from the region. It was beautiful and spooky. But the editing was very intimidating and I kept putting it off.

Anyway, here we are and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Prepare yourself for tales of Lantern Men, Hikey Sprites, Glowing Owls and Shrieking Women.

Special thanks to Ian and Hayley who held the mic and our lanterns when we realised we needed more hands.

In this episode we settle down for a picnic in a church graveyard and chat about the many, many, many ghosts which haunt RAF Feltwell.

We'd just finished a tour of No. 94 Maintenance Unit at Barnham which was a cold war nuclear bomb storage facility. It was so interesting, and we'd highly recommend a visit. But no ghosts so we picked a spooky alternative.

We are a bit late this month, sorry!! We also have a very chaotic guest so prepare yourself for weird noises, and slightly distracted conversations.

But enough excuses! In this episode, we're talking all about Norfolk's saints. We explore the lives of some homegrown saints, those who visited the county, we chat about our favourite saints, and imagine what we might each be the patron saint of. And of course we go off on plenty of saintly tangents.

In this episode we head back to South Norfolk for an unusual story. One that was collected by a local author and we think it has only ever shared in print once.

Prepare yourself for some wild speculation on who, or what, might be following lone travellers along The Lowes.

In this episode, we dive into murky waters to compare Norfolk and Suffolk folklore with one of Universal Studios’ most iconic monsters: the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Stacia kicks things off with a synopsis of the 1954 classic, and from there we rummage through our archives to come up with some, admittedly tenuous, parallels between the Black Lagoon’s mysterious creature and East Anglia’s own creatures of the deep.

We also take a little look at the South American folklore said to have inspired the Creature. There are surprisingly a lot of similarities between those original tales and our East Anglian folklore creatures.

Side note: if you hear knocking, your house isn’t haunted… one of us kept tapping the table.

In this episode on our theme of Hollywood Monsters, we’re unwrapping Mummies. Norfolk is linked to the most famous mummy of them all, but we've chatted about that before in episode 88. Today we discover a new-to-us local mummy story, a Norfolk Mummy which never came to Norfolk and we ask the important question: who exactly is Portland Bill?

*Bit of a naughty swear right at the very end, but it made me laugh a lot - Siofra

In this episode we have a chat about werewolves and look for examples of werewolves popping up in Norfolk. We actually find quite a few stories!

Also, sorry for the f-word. Siofra got over excited.

In this episode we discuss vampires of Norfolk. It may seem like an unlikely combo, but Norfolk has some surprising links to the classic monsters.

It looks like this might be the start of a series...werewolves next!

It's the end of the year so we have a classic review of the year episode for your listening pleasure.

Thank you all for sticking with for another year. We promise to get back to sharing podcasts every month. We've even got the January 2026 episode in the bag!

Finally, our live recording at the Bungay Black Shuck Festival 2025! We share an intriguing photo taken recently in Norfolk and we welcome special guests Anne and Tom. They share their absolutely amazing encounter with Black Shuck. Their storytelling and scene setting is just wonderful and it was an honour to have them on the podcast.
