In this episode, we dive into murky waters to compare Norfolk and Suffolk folklore with one of Universal Studios’ most iconic monsters: the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Stacia kicks things off with a synopsis of the 1954 classic, and from there we rummage through our archives to come up with some, admittedly tenuous, parallels between the Black Lagoon’s mysterious creature and East Anglia’s own creatures of the deep.

We also take a little look at the South American folklore said to have inspired the Creature. There are surprisingly a lot of similarities between those original tales and our East Anglian folklore creatures.

Side note: if you hear knocking, your house isn’t haunted… one of us kept tapping the table.

In this episode on our theme of Hollywood Monsters, we’re unwrapping Mummies. Norfolk is linked to the most famous mummy of them all, but we've chatted about that before in episode 88. Today we discover a new-to-us local mummy story, a Norfolk Mummy which never came to Norfolk and we ask the important question: who exactly is Portland Bill?

In this episode we have a chat about werewolves and look for examples of werewolves popping up in Norfolk. We actually find quite a few stories!

Also, sorry for the f-word. Siofra got over excited.
