A special guest CO-HOST this week! Fan favourite Chris Cantrill (The Delightful Sausage) is BACK and he has a great story all about an ill-fated Cumbrian wedding. He also has a bunch of stories that had to be either bleeped or edited out wholesale due to their incendiary nature. Do check out patreon.com/loremenpod for those sweet sweet bonuses.

In the smoking room of the Loregentleman’s Club, Mr James Shakeshaft puffed on his pipe with a look of consternation. He found the silence intolerable. “D— it, man,” he said at last, “what the devil did you mean by your message? ‘I saw a house that wasn’t quite right,’ what a load of old rot.” Mr Alasdair Beckett-King, seated in the chair opposite, peered at Shakeshaft through a yellowish haze and his drooping eyes sparkled in the firelight... This evening’s podcast begins with Alasdair telling James a tale about the Midlands. A land that is neither North nor South. A land replete with mystery and intrigue. A land whose accent neither Loregent can do. Northamptonshire. Beginning with the three-sided folly of Ruston Triangular Lodge, the boys discover a drumming well, a perambulating doll and a haunted church that’s thick... wi’ rabbits. Loreboys nether say die!

Hop in James's childhood car (a Mazda 323) and take a trip to Burford, jewel of the Cotswolds. Home of the Burford Garden Centre, Cotswold Wildlife Park and, naturally, ghosts. Recorded on one of the hottest days in England's history, the Loremen face drought, a flaming coach, and the dusty vengeance of bad old Lady Tanfield. (And Lord Tanfield is hardly better.) The Bois squeeze a bit of genuine history into this episode. Meanwhile, Alasdair gets on his hobby horse about the enclosure of public lands, and James launches into a bizarre rant about colanders.

Is this our rudest episode title yet? Cock Lane is a small street in the City of London, infamous for not having a ghost in it. Alasdair introduces James to the "Scratching Fanny" behind the Cock Lane haunting, and the Lorebois go on to encounter a plethora of poltergeists (ahem... polterguys). This episode features celebrity cameos from Anne Robinson and Roger Moore, plus a pair of graveyard ghosts having a truly royal rumble. We also tiptoe around the gruesome legend of King Edward II's horrible end's horrible end. Loreboys nether say die!

The Loremen lived again! James tells our live studio audience a tale stretching all the way from the Peak District to the good ol' US of America. This episode was recorded at The Bill Murray in London, and streamed on NextUp. Expect:  - Poets! - Dreams! - Benedict Arnold! (Whoever that is) But above all, expect the joyous bonhomie of a gathering of loyal lorefolk. (The collective noun is a "pedantry" of lorefolk.) Loreboys nether say die!

Due to an administrative error - this is a solely Shakeshaft minisode. But he gets through a LOT of admin. In the end.

Alasdair brings out the big Scottish guns: Ranald McDanald AND Donald McRonald and shares the tales of two Scotsmen who fought on opposing sides at the Battle of Cullodden.  Donald Ban of the Bogan wound up haunted by a ghostly Sid James, while Duncan Campbell of Inverawe was cursed to live in fear of a mysterious place - "Ticonderoga". For further reading, look up Speculoos biscuits and the back catalogue of David Bowie (the hydroelectric power station manager). Loreboys nether say die!

(That's a 2 for 1 offer on torso stimulation.) Lower Swell offers ghosts that will make you go "ooh" as well as double entendres that will make you go "oo-er missus." Plus an immovable stone that...

The Stone of Destiny, AKA the Stone of Scone, has been stolen more times than Alasdair has had cold Scottish dinners. In this episode we uncover a daring Scottish heist and a Scotsman's unexplained demise. That's right, unable to compete with James's recent two-parter, ABK has frantically squeezed a couple of tales into a single episode. Learn how to pronounce Scone correctly(ish) and how to pronounce a lot of other words incorrectly. Hear Ian Hamilton's account of the theft of the Stone of Destiny in his own words here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJLosu3SqCs And for gawd's sake, get the suspension looked at on that Ford Anglia.
