9 January 2025, 6:00 am - 26 minutes 28 secondsXmas Pig 2024 with The Quantum Mechanics!
For the last Xmas Pig of 2024, The Quantum Mechanics join James for a final piggy tryptic of tales.
With stories from the UK's "Cannock Chase" to America's "Road Bridge" it seems The Pigman gets around a bit. Whether he be a butcher gone wrong or the victim of a science experiment also gone wrong, The Pigman is always a source of terror...

19 December 2024, 1:00 am - 38 minutes 53 secondsLoremen S5Ep62 - The Pig-faced Phantom of Chelsea
A strait-laced reverend meets a surprisingly seductive ghost with the face of a pig. Who will win? The pig-faced phantom of Chelsea, of course!
Christmas Pig has come early. The Loremen dig into the origins of the porcine spectre, and uncover what might be one of Britain’s earliest urban legends. If you believe the tabloid press, cities were once awash with swinish visages and hoggish fizzogs. There’s Tannakin Skinker, the wonderful Mrs Atkinson and the pig-faced woman of Manchester Square.
It’s all good seasonal fun. And a reminder that the past could be horrible if you looked a bit different. Or were a woman. Not like the present, eh? EH???
Seasons Scratchings!

12 December 2024, 1:00 am - 58 minutes 18 secondsLoremen S5Ep61 - The Stocksbridge Monk with Nick Mason
Nick "Maso" Mason of The Weekly Planet and Mr Sunday Movies drops in from Melbourne for a chilling tale of ghosts, ghouls and... town planning.
From "God's own country" (Australia) to "God's own county" (Yorkshire), we visit the haunted building site that was to become the infamous Stocksbridge bypass. Since the 1980s, this stretch of road has been associated with a ghostly hooded monk. Has he got a head? Has he got a face? Has he got a sk8er boi wallet on a chain? It's really not clear. And, as if that weren't spooky enough, we've got ghost children dancing around a maypole.
If you've got 'em, put 'em on. We're talking about gilets, because your spine is going to be tingled!

Walk the lonely road to Littlemark Farm. (Oh, hi little Mark!) Marvel at the girthy trees and... beware the murderous Mary Graham.
