Xmas Pig with The Quantum Mechanics! Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

It's Pig Boxing Day! Do you box a pig? Or put a pig in a box? We simply don't know.
Instead of worrying about that, listen to the final Xmas Pig special. James meets up with Pete and Ben from The Quantum Mechanics podcast to share a story about an absolute pig of a bridegroom...
As ever, join us on the Patreon (www.patreon.com/loremenpod) for exclusive behind-the-scenes material. James put a lot of work into these Xmas Pig episodes, surely he has earned a spoonful of gruel? (Alasdair didn't lift a finger to help. Don't think about that!)

S5 Ep13: Loremen S5Ep13 - The Spitting Ghost of Haddon Hall Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

Ewww! A low stakes, gross ghost! James tells ABK about some well-documented (but not encouraged) ghosts from Derbyshire.
Something about the formerly-ruined building of Haddon Hall has stirred the poetic side of James. He even reads out a bit of what some would consider poetry, or indeed poesie*. This episode also features the stunning debut of brand new character "Geordie Samuel L Jackson".
*If you're from the past, before the invention of the letter T.

S5 Ep12: Loremen S5Ep12 - The Hollow of the Seckyban Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

If you’re walking home late one night, and you hear something rolling along beside you – beware! You might have encountered the Sac Bàn - AKA the Seckyban or the White Sack. Alasdair chills James to his marrow with the legend of a creature who rolls around the byways of Scotland like an angry pudding. You see, a sighting of the White Sack means death!
From the Hollow of the White Sack to the Creagan Change House, this episode features several dodgy pronunciations, sixteen old men, two noms de plume, and the longest trip to the off license in folklore history.

Oh, the horror! It's the legend of the Bakewell Witches*.
