  • Slenderman - EPISODE 100!!!
    Final episode of series 4 and episode 100 we have gone for a fairly well known legend John Slenderman (upholsterer from Sheffield) Yes this is probably the best known creepy pasta and we have a proper look at it. Was he just a benign child like friendly creature? Why did it go so far when the person who made it up is known? Did Neil really imagine and eat a Chorizo Jalfrezi? Its a long one thats for sure, considering i cant really remember what we talked about. Thanks to people who have listened over the last 100 episodes, we are happy you got something from it, whatever it is, even if its the knowledge to listen again. New series 29th June but other stuff (mailbag, classic ect) will come out usual time.

  • Crying Child Painting Fires Situation
    In this weeks episode we look at a wide ranging problem in the UK during the 80's, which nearly brought the insurance industry to its knees, the cursed paintings of crying children which cause fires. Reported in the Sun (reputable) with input from Fire fighters (removed) and confirmed by victims (probably paid) this seems to have been a big issue. But it was the 80's of course, when everyone smoked, deep fried everything on an open flame and all furniture had to be flammable by law (Thatcher helping out big sofa). But what were people doing with these paintings, and who choses this as a subject for all of their paintings. We unmask the truth
