We’re the Boo-Foons, two paranormal obsessives with a mic, a mission, and a mildly haunted sense of humor. Broadcasting from the misty corners of the UK, we investigate ghost stories, folklore oddities, and unexplained phenomena with equal parts curiosity and chaos. Whether we’re chasing spectral sightings or cracking jokes about cursed garden gnomes, our goal is simple: make the spooky stuff fun, weird, and wildly entertaining. Meet your hosts below… if you dare.
Steve
Co-Host, Vibe Wrangler & Reluctant Organiser
Steve is one half of the Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators, known for his uncanny ability to show up, hit record, and somehow make chaos sound charming. He’s the kind of guy who’ll follow a ghost into a haunted attic without checking if the batteries in the recorder are charged, and that’s part of the magic. While organisation might not be his strong suit (don’t ask him to manage a calendar), Steve brings raw creativity, spontaneous humor, and a spooky sixth sense for storytelling that keeps every episode unpredictable and entertaining.
He’s the wildcard in the Boo-Foons duo, more likely to chase a weird idea than write it down, but always ready to riff, react, and roll with whatever haunted nonsense Dan throws his way. Whether it’s composing eerie tunes, reacting to folklore oddities, or just laughing at his own confusion, Steve’s the heart of the show’s playful spirit.

Dan
Producer, Co-Host, Script Surgeon & Keeper of Sanity
Dan is the calm in the Boo-Foons storm. A consummate professional with a knack for structure, timing, accents, and making sure the mics are actually plugged in, he’s the reason the podcast doesn’t devolve into complete paranormal chaos (well, not every time). With a background in storytelling and a mind like a spreadsheet, Dan brings order to the madness, editing out tangents, fact-checking folklore, and gently steering Steve back on topic when he’s halfway through a ghost story and suddenly starts talking about sailor hats.
He’s the one who remembers deadlines, drafts outlines, and somehow translates Steve’s “vibes” into actual production notes. Whether he’s smoothing out audio glitches or diplomatically suggesting that maybe they don’t need five different theme songs for one episode, Dan’s quiet leadership keeps Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators sounding sharp and staying weird, in the best way.
Dan’s ability to cope with Steve is nothing short of legendary. He doesn’t just tolerate the chaos, he channels it, refines it, and makes it sing. Literally, sometimes.
Want to add a quote from Dan like “I’ll fix it in post” or lean into his dry humor more? I can tweak it to match his voice.
