Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators
We’ve officially launched the Boo-Foons Discord, your new haunt for all things spooky, silly, and spectacular! Whether you’re here for ghostly giggles, folklore deep-dives, or behind-the-scenes Boo-Foonery, this is the place to connect, share, and celebrate with fellow fans. Expect chaotic chats, sneak peeks, and maybe even a few spectral surprises. Come float in and say hi, we’d love to have you!
The Boo‑Foons team are joined this week by the brilliantly chaotic Bantering Banshees for a deep dive into one of England’s most enduring ghost stories: the many, many sightings of Anne Boleyn. Few historical figures have left such a powerful imprint on the landscape, and even fewer are said to walk it quite so widely. From the quiet lanes of Norfolk to the stone corridors of the Tower of London, Anne’s spirit is reported in more locations than almost any other figure in British folklore.
Why Anne Boleyn Appears in So Many Places
Across the episode, the Boo‑Foons and the Banshees explore the theories behind her widespread hauntings. Several themes emerge:
Key Locations Linked to Anne Boleyn’s Ghost
The conversation highlights several of the most famous sites where Anne is said to appear:
Each location adds a different emotional note to her legend, grief, injustice, nostalgia, or defiance, creating a multi‑layered folklore tapestry that the Boo‑Foons and Banshees unpack with humour, curiosity, and a healthy dose of paranormal speculation.
Meet the Bantering Banshees
The episode also introduces listeners to the Bantering Banshees themselves, fellow lovers of folklore, ghost stories, and spirited debate. Their blend of wit and insight makes them the perfect partners for this exploration of Tudor hauntings.

Boo-Foons Off the Case launches as the latest chaotic off‑duty adventure from the Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators, and this new Saturday series sets out to do one thing above all else: let Steve and Dan loose. The debut episode welcomes viewers into a space where the usual paranormal sleuthing is firmly put aside, replaced with a freer, sillier, and far more unfiltered version of the duo.
A New Saturday Tradition
The first episode opens with a warm introduction to Boo-Foons Off the Case, positioning it as a weekly breather from the main investigations. Instead of chasing ghosts, analysing EMF spikes, or debating the finer points of supernatural folklore, Steve and Dan simply show up as themselves, two mates riffing, rambling, and embracing the kind of nonsense that never quite fits into a structured investigation.
This shift gives the Boo-Foons community something fresh: a weekend hangout that feels spontaneous, relaxed, and delightfully stupid in all the right ways.
What “Off the Case” Really Means
The premise is simple but effective. When Steve and Dan are “off the case,” they’re not hunting mysteries, they’re stepping away from the investigator personas and leaning into their natural chemistry. Expect:
Why This Series Matters for the Boo-Foons Universe
By carving out a dedicated Saturday slot, the Boo-Foons are expanding their world in a way that strengthens the connection with their audience. Fans get more time with Steve and Dan, more personality-driven content, and more opportunities to join in the fun without needing to follow a case file.
It also gives the creators room to experiment, new ideas, new formats, and new ways to keep the Boo-Foons brand lively and unpredictable.
A Weekly Dose of Controlled Chaos
Boo-Foons Off the Case is, at its heart, a celebration of the duo’s dynamic. It’s relaxed, fun, and proudly stupid, exactly the kind of weekend energy that invites viewers to switch off, laugh along, and enjoy the Boo-Foons in their purest form.
The first episode sets the tone perfectly: no investigations, no pressure, just Steve and Dan being Steve and Dan. And for fans, that’s more than enough.
Boo-Foons Join Bantering Banshees After Dark for a Paranormal Crossover Packed with Chaos, Chills, and Laughter.
The Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators are celebrating a major moment in their ever-growing paranormal escapades: a guest appearance on the latest episode of Bantering Banshees After Dark. The crossover marks a lively collision of two fan‑favourite teams, bringing together the Boo-Foons’ trademark blend of curiosity, chaos, and good‑natured boo‑foonery with the Banshees’ late‑night storytelling flair.
A Night of Shared Hauntings and Hysterics
Listeners are treated to a rare meeting of minds, and mischief as Steve and Dan crash the Banshees’ after-hours recording. The conversation dives straight into real personal paranormal encounters, the kind that linger in the back of your mind long after the lights go out. Both teams swap stories of eerie happenings, unexplained sensations, and the strange little moments that make even seasoned investigators glance over their shoulders.
Despite the creeping tension, the room never stays serious for long. Every unsettling detail is balanced with laughter, quick-fire banter, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from people who spend far too much time poking at the unknown.
A Finale That Tests Nerves and Instincts
As the episode winds into the small hours, the teams take on a game designed to push their instincts, bravery, and composure to the limit. With the unknown poking back at every turn, the challenge becomes a perfect blend of suspense and silliness, exactly the kind of energy both shows thrive on.
And the Best Part? The Collaboration Isn’t Over
The Boo-Foons have confirmed that the Banshees will be joining their show very soon, marking the second half of this paranormal double‑feature. Fans of both podcasts can expect even more shared chaos, more stories from the shadows, and more moments where everyone laughs just a little too loudly to hide the nerves.
The Boo-Foons say they’re “really excited” for what’s ahead, and if this first crossover is anything to go by, listeners have every reason to be as well.
This week, the Boo-Foons are trading the familiar for the flatlands as they journey into the heart of the Fens. Steeped in mist and local lore, the marshes around Wisbech are the setting for their latest expedition, one that finds Steve and Dan on the trail of a legendary figure whose identity remains a point of historical debate.
Depending on which local you ask, we’re either hunting a formidable giant or the legendary hero who managed to slay one.
The Fens have always been a place where history and myth blur together, but we’re aren’t taking any chances. Armed with nothing but our wits and, somewhat inexplicably, a collection of cartwheels for defence, we are ready to navigate the winding waterways and open skies of Norfolk.
Whether these makeshift shields will hold up against a giant remains to be seen, but the journey promises plenty of intrigue. Will we find the resting place of a titan, or uncover the secrets of a giant-killer?
Join us as we trek across the marshes toward Wisbech. Check out the latest episode to see if the cartwheels survive the trip!
Episode 28
This week, the Boo-Foons team up with John from Oddtrots for a delightfully strange expedition to Suffolk, where one of England’s most enduring mysteries first took root: the Green Children of Woolpit. According to 12th‑century accounts, two children with green-tinted skin appeared near the village, speaking an unknown language and refusing all food except broad beans. Over time, their colour reportedly faded, and the surviving child claimed they came from a twilight world called St Martin’s Land, where the sun never fully shone.
In true Boo-Foons fashion, Steve, Dan, and John dive into the legend with equal parts curiosity and chaos, sampling broad beans, scanning the countryside for wolves (a nod to Woolpit’s historic wolf pits), and attempting to decode the children’s mysterious language. It’s folklore meets field trip, with plenty of laughs woven through the history, theories, and wonderfully weird details that make this centuries-old tale so irresistible.
If you love your mysteries with a side of education and a generous helping of Boo-Foonery, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
Episode 27
What begins as a simple journey across Scotland’s Tay Bridge quickly spirals into a transcontinental paranormal adventure. Steve and Dan, your intrepid Boo-Foons investigators, climb aboard a seemingly ordinary steam train, only to discover it’s anything but.
As the wheels turn and the whistle blows, the train slips through time and space, chugging into misty landscapes, haunted stations, and folklore-laced railways from around the world. Each carriage holds a clue, each country a ghostly tale, and every stop brings them closer to uncovering the truth behind the spectral locomotives that refuse to rest.
From the eerie echoes of Victorian platforms to the poetic ramblings of Britain’s most questionable bard (yes, he’s onboard too), this is no ordinary rail ride. It’s a Boo-Foon express, unpredictable, unearthly, and utterly unforgettable.
So grab your ghost-hunting gear, pack a questionable poem, and join the Boo-Foons as they lay tracks across the paranormal map. The train is leaving the station… and it’s not stopping for logic.
Episode 26
Southeast Asia is famous for many things: breathtaking temples, incredible food, warm hospitality… and, of course, the occasional floating head with its entrails dangling like festive streamers. Naturally, this meant one thing.
The Boo‑Foons had to go.
Armed with backpacks, questionable bravery, and a deeply flawed sense of what counts as a “relaxing getaway,” Steve and Dan set off across the region in search of the legendary Penanggalan or Krasue, beautiful women by day, terrifying flying viscera‑demons by night.
Folklore, Fear, and Questionable Choices
The Krasue is said to detach her head from her body and fly through the night in search of victims. Steve and Dan wandered through moonlit streets, listening for the tell‑tale wet flapping of airborne organs, they discovered something important: Southeast Asian folklore is rich, fascinating, and absolutely terrifying when you’re the one doing the fieldwork.
Did They Find One?
Well… that would be telling.
Episode 25
When you meet someone on a ghost hunt, you expect a few spooky stories. What you don’t expect is for that same person to casually drop, “Oh yeah, I’ve had loads of ghost encounters… but I don’t believe ghosts are real.”
That someone was Sebastian.
Naturally, Steve and Dan did what any responsible paranormal investigators would do: they sat him down for a deep dive into the contradictions of his haunted life.
In this episode, the Boo-Foons are joined by friend of the show Sebastian as they unravel a lifetime of eerie experiences, from unexplained knocks and ghostly animals to chilling predictions of Princess Diana’s death and even exorcisms carried out in the home.
If you enjoy stories that make you laugh, shiver, and question reality all at once, this one’s for you.
Join Steve, Dan and Sebastian as they explore the strange, the spooky, and the spectacularly confusing world of the paranormal.

Episode 24
Steve and Dan find themselves face-to-face with a botanical enigma, the legend of the mandrake.
Mandrake (genus Mandragora) is a plant steeped in folklore and mysticism. Native to the Mediterranean region, its roots often resemble human figures, which has fueled centuries of superstition. Historically, mandrakes were believed to scream when uprooted, a cry so deadly it could kill anyone who heard it.
Mandrakes contain alkaloids such as hyoscyamine and scopolamine, which can be highly toxic. Historically, they were used as anesthetics and sedatives, but improper use could lead to hallucinations, coma, or death. Today, mandrake is rarely used medicinally due to its dangerous properties.

Whether feared or revered, the mandrake remains one of nature’s most enigmatic plants. Its legacy spans centuries, bridging the gap between botany and legend. For the Boo-Foons, it’s just another day in the greenhouse.
