    S5 Ep31: Loremen S5Ep31 - Gregor MacGregor, The Prince of Nowhere
    May 9 2024
    The Loreboys meet the audacious Scottish con man "Sir" Gregor MacGregor. Calling himself the Cazique of Poyais, this charismatic ex-soldier is the mastermind behind a debacle that will make Fyre Island look like Centre Parcs.

    He's selling land and government bonds belonging to the Central American kingdom of Poyais. The big problem being: Poyais doesn't exist. The year is 1823, and this South Sea bubble is going to pop. Around 170 victims of the scam will die. But will Scotland's biggest hoaxter get off Scot free?

    (Yes.)

  • S5 Ep30: Loremen S5Ep30 - Hunting the Werewolf on Cannock Chase

    S5 Ep30: Loremen S5Ep30 - Hunting the Werewolf on Cannock Chase
    May 2 2024
    Where wolves? James attempts to answer that question with a midnight excursion to Cannock Chase. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is home to a range of distinctly unnatural creatures. We're talking lycanthropes, black eyed children, numerous UFOs and at least one pigman.

    In fact, there are many reports of uncanny incidents in Cannock Chase, James went all the way to Staffordshire to investigate. Alas, our intrepid loreboy encountered a much more human phenomenon.

    SAUCINESS WARNING: This episode contains references to a grown up activity. One that takes place at night, in car parks. Pay and Display (without the pay) if you know what we mean...

  • S5 Ep29: Loremen S5Ep29 - The Japanese Tree With A Human Face with Uncanny Japan

    S5 Ep29: Loremen S5Ep29 - The Japanese Tree With A Human Face with Uncanny Japan
    Apr 25 2024
    Thersa Matsuura of Uncanny Japan joins the Loreboys for a tale with more human faces than you've had hot dinners with human faces*. We look at a bunch of Yōkai that can take a look right back at us. From fish with a face to a blister with a kisser, these jinmen will give you the jitters. Especially the fish, because they're real. (No seriously... there are videos.)

    * Unless you dine exclusively on McCain's Smiles.

fun, entertaining, informative

an awesome, researched, and somewhat silly look at folk tales and ghost stories! 👻
