We’ve crossed oceans, dodged customs, and packed extra socks because this time, we’re heading to New Zealand! Our mission? To uncover the truth behind legendary Māori creatures said to guard sacred lands and waters.
Join us as we plunge into the Pacific, hunting for signs of reptilian sea guardians known as taniwha. These mythical beings are woven into Māori lore, often described as dragon-like creatures that dwell in rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.
Some taniwha are fierce protectors of iwi (tribes), while others are known to be more mischievous or territorial. Either way, they’re not the kind of cryptid you want to surprise with a flashlight.
As we hit a milestone that still feels a bit surreal, 20 episodes published and almost 1,000 listens, we wanted to take a moment to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s tuned in, shared an episode, sent a message, or simply had a giggle with us along the way.
What started as two mates chatting nonsense, poking at the paranormal, and seeing how much chaos we could cram into a microphone has grown into something we genuinely look forward to creating every single week. We absolutely love making this podcast, the stories, the silliness, the spooky tangents, the unexpected moments, and the joy of knowing that somewhere out there, someone is laughing along with us.
Your support means the world, and it’s what keeps us pushing to make each episode better than the last. We’re always trying to improve, experiment, and entertain… and we’re nowhere near done yet.
We Want to Hear From You
One of our favourite parts of this whole adventure is hearing from listeners. Your feedback, suggestions, and wild ideas help shape the show more than you know. Whether it’s a topic you want us to explore, a story you want to share, or just a message saying “that episode made me snort tea out my nose”, we’re here for it.
You can reach us across all our social media channels — drop us a message, tag us, send a carrier pigeon. We love it all.
What’s Next?
We’ve got some fun collaborations brewing behind the scenes, and we can’t wait to share them with you. New voices, new stories, new chaos, all coming soon. So keep listening, keep spreading the word, and keep being the brilliant bunch that makes Boo‑Foons what it is.
Here’s to the next 20 episodes… and the next thousand listens.
The Boo-Foons look back to a previous Boxing Day when aliens visited the UK.
Join us as we explore the eerie mystery surrounding Rendlesham Forest, a woodland nestled beside a military base in Suffolk. On Boxing Day in 1980, this quiet corner of England became the centre of one of the most famous UFO sightings in British history.
Late that night, American servicemen stationed at RAF Woodbridge reported seeing strange lights descending into the forest. Believing an aircraft had crashed, they ventured into the woods to investigate. What they found defied explanation. Witnesses described a glowing, metallic object with coloured lights moving silently among the trees. Some claimed the nearby animals went into a frenzy, and one airman even reported touching the craft and receiving a stream of binary code.
Over the following nights, more sightings occurred. A deputy base commander recorded an audio account of lights in the sky behaving in ways that seemed intelligent and deliberate. Physical evidence was also noted, including indentations in the ground, broken branches and elevated radiation readings.
Although sceptics have suggested the lights may have come from the Orfordness Lighthouse or a meteor, the consistency of witness reports and the involvement of trained military personnel have kept the mystery alive. The incident is often referred to as Britain’s Roswell and remains one of the most compelling UFO cases in the UK.
Armed with curiosity, festive cheer and a healthy dose of Boo-Foonery we try to uncover the truth. Was it a secret experiment, a trick of the light, or something truly out of this world? Join us as we investigate the legend that turned Rendlesham Forest into a beacon for believers and sceptics alike.
This festive season, the Boo-Foons find themselves tangled in fairy lights and fear as they investigate a Dickens, Brides and other paranormal stories. The Brown Lady, legendary ghost of Raynham Hall, makes a surprise appearance… and she’s white. Not just spectral white, but blinding, snowstorm-in-a-nightgown white. She floats through the halls like a possessed snowflake, leaving a trail of confusion.
And just when you think it couldn’t get any scarier, Steve steps forward with a tale so chilling it makes the ghost gasp. A story darker than midnight mince pies and more disturbing than Dan’s shirt pattern. No spoilers, but let’s just say it involves a cursed celebrity and a Devon holiday camp.
Join us for a Boo-Foons Christmas that’s equal parts festive and freaky. Ghosts, giggles, and gifts that bite, what more could you want?
When the Boo-Foons rolled into Boscastle, we expected misty cliffs, spectral whispers, and maybe a cursed pasty or two. What we didn’t expect was a museum so packed with occult oddities, magical mischief, and eyebrow-raising artefacts that we left both enlightened and slightly scandalised.
Nestled in the heart of this Cornish coastal village, the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic is a treasure trove of folklore, ritual, and the downright bizarre. From Wiccan robes to ceremonial daggers, the exhibits span centuries of magical practice, folk magic, Freemasonry, divination, and more. But let’s be honest: we were drawn to the weird stuff. The rude stuff. The stuff that makes you glance around nervously before giggling like schoolchildren.
The Artefacts That Raised Eyebrows (and Spirits)
Among the museum’s more infamous pieces are the Fanny Stone and Cock Rock, two geological wonders that prove Mother Nature has a wicked sense of humour. The Fanny Stone, a naturally eroded slab with an unmistakably yonic shape, sits proudly among fertility charms and goddess effigies. Meanwhile, Cock Rock is exactly what it sounds like: a phallic stone formation that would make even the most seasoned warlock blush.
These aren’t just naughty novelties, they’re part of a long tradition of sacred sexuality in magical practice. Fertility rites, sympathetic magic, and the worship of generative forces have deep roots in pagan belief systems. Still, when you’re face-to-face with a stone that looks like it belongs in a hen party gift bag, it’s hard not to crack a joke.
Paranormal Vibes and Pentagram Selfies
As we explored the museum’s shadowy corridors, we encountered everything from poppets and potion bottles to a life-sized Horned God statue that seemed to follow us with its gaze.
Outside, the slate-roofed building is adorned with herbs, symbols, and a pentagram that practically begs for a selfie. A black cat perched on the wall added to the ambiance, while an owl on the chimney watched us like a feathered bouncer guarding the secrets within.
Final Thoughts: Bewitched, Bothered, and Boo-Fooned
Boscastle’s Museum of Witchcraft and Magic is more than just a collection of curios, it’s a living archive of belief, rebellion, and the human desire to understand the unknown. Whether you’re a seasoned occultist or just here for the rude rocks, it’s a must-visit for anyone with a taste for the uncanny.
We left with a deeper appreciation for magical history, a few questionable photos, and the lingering suspicion that we may have been cursed.
The Boo-Foons head deep into South America in search of the legendary forest guardian, the Curupira (or as Steve calls it, “Curry-piranha?”). This fiery-haired trickster from Brazilian folklore is known for his backward-facing feet, a clever trait that confuses hunters and leads them in circles. He’s the ultimate protector of the rainforest, punishing those who exploit nature and vanishing into the trees before you can say “deforestation.”
Join Steve and Dan as they dodge mischievous spirits and try to keep up with the chaos. Steve, naturally, struggles with pronouncing “Curupira,” but that’s half the fun.
This episode was recorded live during a Patreon stream, so expect extra Boo-Foonery and jungle misadventures.
The Boo-Foons have ditched the fog and found the fire, welcome to Arizona, USA. With backpacks full of snacks and minds full of alien lore, Steve and Dan head into the desert to chase the legend of the Phoenix Lights.
The Boo-Foons are crossing the Atlantic! Steve and Dan head to the United States of America on a spine-tingling mission: to investigate a mysterious haunted cabinet purchased on eBay.
What begins as a cheeky bid soon spirals into a journey filled with spirits of every kind, both in the glass and in the shadows. As they sip, laugh, and stumble through folklore, the Boo-Foons uncover a supposed Jewish tale that travelled from Europe to the USA, carrying whispers of curses, superstition, and history across generations.s of curses, superstition, and history across generations.
The Boo-Foons are back on the road, and this time, they’ve headed north to the misty streets of Glasgow, where tartan meets terror and the past refuses to stay politely buried. In this episode, Steve and Dan investigate a curious flat with a dark Victorian history, uncovering tales of crime, mystery, and one particularly soggy apparition.
Yes, you heard that right: bath tub ghosts. The kind that linger in porcelain silence, waiting for a good lather and a dramatic monologue. Whether it’s phantom splashing or spectral soap scum, the Boo-Foons are on the case, armed with a deep suspicion of plumbing.
What begins as a simple ghost-hunting jaunt quickly spirals into a transatlantic tale of intrigue, as the Boo-Foons trace the spectral breadcrumbs from Scotland to New York. Expect time-hopping twists, suspiciously well-dressed phantoms, and a few eyebrow-raising revelations about 19th-century fashion.
This episode is a tartan-tinged romp through history, mystery, and mild intoxication.
Tune in now to hear Steve and Dan navigate haunted hallways, historical rabbit holes, and the eternal question: was that a ghost, or just a very pale Glaswegian?
This week, the Boo-Foons take their paranormal pandemonium to the windswept cliffs of Land’s End, where the sea crashes, the ghosts bark, and the signage costs more than a small mortgage.
Steve and Dan arrive with high hopes and low financial literacy, determined to investigate two legendary tales of ghostly dogs said to haunt Cornwall’s rugged coastline. What begins as a serious supernatural study quickly devolves into a chaotic blend of canine capers, historical confusion, and questionable fiscal decisions
