What's Out There?

Do you know what it means when an Owl lands on your bedpost?

How about three knocks on your door, and when you open it, no one is there?

Juliette and Nigel may have the answers for you in this episode. Listen carefully because the signs are all around us!

We tell you how to interpret them and what to avoid in our own special style.

You can also read a little more about a certain kind of harbinger and meet the third member of our team in our substack newsletter.

Juliette and Nigel have set a challenge.

For those of you who had the unbridled joy of team meetings and training courses, do you remember the great icebreakers that were deployed at the beginning?

A selection of "incredible" little games introduces attendees to each other and creates a happy atmosphere.😂😂

Well, we have set up our icebreaker! It's that awful one where you say three things about yourself, two genuine, and one fib. You have to guess which fact is a fib. Of course, we have adapted the game a little to suit our purpose. In our game, we tell you three local gruesome tales, two of them are based on facts, and one is just a folklore story. Listen carefully to each of our tales, then tell us which one is the odd one out. Just to add to the fun, Juliette and Nigel play the game too, with facts about themselves, two genuine and one that's pure invention!!

Join the fun and listen in, and if you feel so inclined, come tell us on our Twitter which ones you believe are facts and which are just tall tales.

After a little summer break, Nige and Juliette are podcasting once again.

It's all gone, just a little bit fishy in this episode!

Juliette loves mermaids. She wears a tiny silver one around her neck, has a house full of mermaid niknaks and believe it or not, she has a mermaid tail!!

She wanted to talk about mermaids, so we decided to look into a few local tales and share them with you, and of course, a lot of

fishy mayhem ensued. Sit back and enjoy as they cover such diverse topics as how difficult it is to move in a mermaid costume, the history of fish fingers and how to fool a freak show audience with a dead monkey and a large fish!!

For added entertainment, here are a few links to videos we mentioned that you might like to watch.

Hey ho off we go. Join Juliette and Nigel as they take you on a couple of spooky journeys.

Ghost Hunts, or Pay For Scares, we may have been overly critical of these organised events in the past.

So to set the record straight, we decided to partake in one ourselves. It just so happens we were also asked to help

host one. So here is our take on organised ghost hunts from both sides.

Expect the usual chaos, as we decided scripts are no longer required, and adlib is the way to go.

Enjoy ❤️

Join Nigel and Juliette as they chat with someone who may be very familiar to a few of you

Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe, a leading parapsychologist and hardcore sceptic, one of the original "Most Haunted" team and recently appearing

as one of the experts in the award-winning Battersea Poltergeist podcast and Uncanny podcast on BBC sounds.

Ciaran has been studying the paranormal for a number of years now, even though he is seen as a hardcore sceptic, you may be very surprised by some of the things he has to say.

We were so fortunate to have the chance to talk to Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did talking.

The new "Ghosted" book is available from here

Join Nigel and Juliette for a podcast full of emotion as they chat about what a massive part our pets can play in our lives and how sometimes they can come back when they are gone.

Do you believe in animal ghosts? Do you think that somehow animals can see or sense things that are invisible to humans?

Listen as they share stories about their own pets, fondly remembered, who they think came back to check on them.

There are also tales of other paranormal animals for you to all enjoy.

We hope you all laugh and cry as much as we did whilst recording this.

If you have any stories of your own, we would love to hear them❤️

We were just a little bit excited to get the chance to talk with the Scottish Parapsychologist, Evelyn Hollow and we were not disappointed.

Join us as we chat with Evelyn about her life and work. We fell down quite a few rabbit holes in this chat, all of which led to some fantastic discussions about various topics including a really rather creepy tale about a strange experience that Evelyn had.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording

I read books, in fact, I read an awful lot of books.

Factual or fictional, I honestly don't care, if it's something that piques my interest, then I will lose myself in the pages.

I was inspired to record this episode by a book that my wife suggested I might like to read.

Another local tale from the wilds of Norfolk that has variations spread across the world.

Strange lights on dark and misty nights, pale flickering flames tempting the lost traveller. But beware for its not safety that lies there, for these are the lights of the Lantern men and they lie in wait out there in the darkness.

For those of you interested in reading the aforementioned book, I've included a link to the author's page about this particular title

I do hope you enjoy my tale

We recently started a new video series, called "Tales of Haunted Norfolk", where we look into some of the many spooky stories from our home county.

Each episode tells a tale, accompanied by an investigation. The first story we told took us to East Somerton, the ruins of St mary's Church and the tale of the witch's leg.

Thinking it would be just a quiet night in a ruined church, we were not prepared for the strange experiences we had there.

Join Nigel and Juliette as they delve a little deeper into their East Somerton experiences, with some help from Bethan Briggs-Miller from the Eerie Essex podcast.

https://www.buzzsprout.com/1827712

They also answer a series of questions from their Twitter followers on how they go about their investigation process.

To get the most from this episode, we suggest you might like to watch our "Witch's Leg" episode on our YouTube or Vimeo channels before listening.

Join Nigel as he dips a toe into the murky world of ancestor worship

It's just a little taster really, a small sample to tempt you all to dive in

to what is a really rather fascinating topic.

We hope to bring you a more in-depth look at some of the things mentioned but for now

just listen and see if Nigel piques your interest.
