Cheeky little minisode with film maker Miles Benson and a little treat about devilish simians from across the pond. Here's the link to Miles' project... https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dream-clean-a-short-film-about-urban-legends#/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Loreboys are back to doing what they do best - making mistakes via a podcast medium. Fortunately, James's snafu this week is quickly corrected. Listen, as he tells a thrilling tale, racked by self-doubt and undermining himself at every turn. Edric the Wild's adventure begins with the Norman invasion, and takes us from flooded Roman garrisons to burnt Shrewsburys (not a euphemism). Be sure to listen before your next trip to the town of Battle, near Hastings. Hint: it's not in Kent.

New York, London, Bendigo (it's a place in Australia). These are the three equally famous cities visited by celebrity apparition Katie King. Apart from being the daughter of the legendary pirate/drink Captain Morgan, Ms King was a world-wide spiritualist sensation in the 19th century. This is the story of her other-worldly jaunt to Victorian-era Victoria. This is the concluding part of Spiritualism Down Under, with guest loresheila Bec Hill, so check out part 1 first. If you'd like to see James and Bec come face-to-face with genuine spirit photographs... let us Ask Jeeves that for you: Spirit Photography with Bec Hill.

James and Alasdair are joined by the hilarious (and crafty) comedian Bec Hill. Series 5 (series 5) begins with tales of Australian apparitions, antipodean seances and the scariest monster of all... Scotsmen. With cameos from Arthur Conan Doyle, the pseudonymous Demonax and the Wizard Bombardier of Ballarat. And this is only part 1! Join us next week for the levitating Mrs Guppy, the unsettlingly buxom Katie King and (inevitably) the scores.

The Loremen return to the North East of England, for a stroll through Nicky-Nack Woods. We meet a Teeside Miller with a skeleton in his closet (literally), and solve the murder of the Lumley Mill ghost. It's a spectre-packed episode, with flaming face-holes, a green lady (plus mouse) and a floating hand holding the ghost of a dead knife. In the words of Gossack's ghost... GOODNIGHT! Content Warning: Historic references to murder and domestic violence.

A little Loreman met a Pie Man, going to the fair. Said little Loreman to the Pie Man, "Is Datchworth Green near Ware?" And the Pie Man said, "Yeah, but it's closer to Knebworth." James takes Alasdair to the many-spectred village of Datchworth in Hertfordshire - a hamlet terrorised by both spirits of the dead and a flesh-and-blood highwayman. From poor farmer Pennyfather, to Oakenvalley Bottom and the vigilantes of Queen Hoo Hall, this episode is replete with classic Loreboy gibberish. The boys meet the Pie Man of Datchworth fair, and learn why you can't solve all your problems with beheading. We hope you'll think twice, in future.

Alasdair bundles James into a red telephone box and dials S for snail. There are ghosts in the wire. There are signals from the other side. The Wichita lineman is still on the LIIIIINE. The year 1850 saw the bizarre tale of the "snail telegraph" play out in Paris: an eccentric inventor, a gullible journalist and forty-eight alphabetic-sympathetic snails. Magical molluscs? Or simply the work of a French fruitcake? You decide. Alasdair shares the story, plus what might be the creepiest post script in the history of the pod: Lancashire's own "Susie's Dying" legend.
