S3 Ep75: Loremen S3 Ep75 - Forrest Burgess - The Soap Woman

The Soap Woman of Lake Crescent The Loremen visit Twin Peaks country, and in damn fine company. The year is 1940 and Forrest Burgess (off of Astonishing Legends) takes Alasdair and James to the shores of Lake Crescent in Washington State. Plumbing its chilly depths, we uncover a murderer, a hardboiled detective and an underwater corpse-catcher. We also stop off for a malt at Mount Olympus, visit the Hall of American Names and learn why there’s really no such thing as a good bundle. Content Warning: This episode includes details of a real murder case and – implicitly – domestic violence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S3 Ep74: Loremen S3 Ep74 - The Ghosts in the Window

You know the feeling. It's night-time and you're all alone. You get the strangest feeling that if you look into the glass of a darkened window, you might see a scary figure looking back at you?  Well, the tale that Alasdair Beckett-King chills James Shakeshaft with in this episode is ever so similar. Except it's daytime, you're in church with other people, and the figures seem to be acting out a boring play. So... the same. It's the fenestral spectres of Trinity Church in York. Disclaimer: WE CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH that Alasdair found his information from a number of sources. Not you Colin. Really. Loreboys nether say die!

Poppy Hillstead has entered the podcast!

S3 Ep72: Loremen S3 Ep72 - The Miner and the Ghost

Alasdair Beckett-King and James Shakeshaft head for the haunted heights of Derbyshire’s High Peak. Somewhere between Light Peak and Dark Peak, betwixt spooky and spoopy, they uncover a tale of drunken revelry and unearthly terror. This episode also features parachute petticoats and an ode to The Pub that borders on (without actually being) poetry. P.S. Let’s make “Noon of Night” a thing. Loreboys nether say die!

S3 Ep71: Loremen S3 Ep71 - The Curious Case of the Zetetic Astronomers

Alasdair takes us to the flat, flat Fenlands and tells tales of some proper old-school oddballs. The sort of people who like to question the mainstream narrative. The sort of people who, if they were around nowadays, would probably wear a mask but not over their nose. You know the sort. BONUS: This episode also includes a cut-out-and-keep haircut fact that will endear you to your workmates, family and friend. Loreboys nether say die!

S3 Ep70: Loremen S3 Ep 70 - The Hoar Stone of Enstone

James takes Alasdair on a guided tour of the Cotswolds’ less famous standing stones. This episode is hot, hot, hot, in many senses of the word. Is it the sultry ambience of a summer evening in James’s shed? Is it the phallic power of these B-list monoliths? Or is it... Swede dreams? Hopefully, we will never find out. Loreboys nether say die!
