  • Ghost Ships & Ocean‑Bound Oddities

    This week, the Boo‑Foons plunge into the mist‑soaked world of ghost ships and maritime mysteries, a realm where cursed vessels drift through fog, drowned sailors throw eternal parties, and the sea itself seems to remember every tragedy.

    The Lady Lovibond: Love, Jealousy & a 50‑Year Haunting

    Dan and Steve begin with the infamous Lady Lovibond, said to appear every fifty years on the treacherous Goodwin Sands. According to legend, a jealous first mate sabotaged the ship on Valentine’s Day 1748, sending everyone aboard to their doom. Ever since, sailors have reported a glowing schooner cutting through the surf, a phantom re-enacting its final voyage.

    El Caleuche: Chile’s Supernatural Party Boat

    From the English Channel to the Chilean coast, the duo dive into the legend of El Caleuche, the ghost ship that rises from the deep carrying drowned sailors who’ve been… upgraded. This spectral vessel is said to host endless celebrations, crewed by the transformed dead and captained by sea‑spirits who don’t believe in closing time.

    Real‑World Enigmas: The Mary Celeste

    The Boo‑Foons also tackle the enduring mystery of the Mary Celeste, found adrift in 1872 with cargo intact, meals untouched, and not a soul aboard. They sift through theories ranging from rogue waves to mutiny to paranormal interference.

    Suffolk’s Storm‑Caller Fisherman

    Closer to home, they explore eerie folklore from the Suffolk coast, including the chilling tale of Lowestoft’s ghostly fisherman. Said to appear before storms and shipwrecks, this spectral figure walks the shoreline with lantern in hand, a warning, a curse, or perhaps a guardian who arrives too late.

    A Sea of Legends

    From cursed schooners and eternal party ships to real maritime mysteries and coastal apparitions, this episode blends UK folklore, paranormal history, and ocean‑bound legends into one salty, supernatural voyage. It’s Boo‑Foons chaos at sea, fog, phantoms, and the occasional questionable nautical comment.

  • The Thing UFO Returns and this time it’s Ghosts

    This episode of Boo‑Foons Mystery Investigators took a sharp turn into the supernatural as Sam from The Thing UFO made his much‑anticipated return. But instead of scanning the skies for extra-terrestrial visitors, Sam arrived with a collection of ghost stories, strange encounters, and theories that blur the line between hauntings and high strangeness.

    The Ghost That Started It All

    Sam opens up about the eerie experiences that may have nudged him toward UFO investigation in the first place, encounters that felt less like traditional hauntings and more like something guiding him, pulling him toward the unknown.

    Where Sky‑Bound Mysteries Meet Things That Lurk in the Dark

    The conversation spirals into the uncanny intersection between UFO lore and ghost lore, shared patterns, shared behaviours, shared moments of impossible coincidence. Sam recounts cases where lights in the sky coincide with apparitions on the ground, where witnesses describe “ghosts” behaving more like entities made of energy than memory.

    It’s the kind of crossover episode where the Boo‑Foons realise the universe might not be divided into neat paranormal boxes.

  • Whitehouse Investigations – Sixteen Years in the Dark

    When the Boo‑Foons sit down with Chris Whitehouse, the room feels charged. Chris, the mind behind Whitehouse Investigations on YouTube, has spent sixteen years chasing shadows through derelict halls, abandoned hospitals, and centuries‑old manors. His stories aren’t just about bumps in the night, they’re about the psychology of belief, the thrill of discovery, and the strange pull that keeps investigators returning to haunted places long after the lights go out.

    This episode stretches to feature length, because there’s simply too much to unpack. Chris shares the encounters that shaped him: the night a voice whispered through a static‑filled EVP recorder, the Ouija sessions that defied explanation, and the moments when scepticism gave way to awe. He walks the Boo‑Foons through his methods, careful documentation, respect for the unknown, and a refusal to reduce the paranormal to a binary of “real or fake.”

    Together, they explore what drives someone to spend over a decade chasing the unexplained. Is it curiosity? Obsession? Or something deeper, a need to understand the invisible threads that tie our world to whatever lies beyond?

    Chris Whitehouse isn’t finished searching. And after this conversation, neither are the Boo‑Foons.

  • Signals From the Other Side: A Sound Engineer’s Take on the Paranormal

    When the Boo‑Foons sit down with someone, you never quite know where the conversation will go, and this episode is a perfect example. This week, the lads are joined by sound engineer and all‑round creative powerhouse Chris Bullock, whose unique blend of technical expertise and open‑minded curiosity makes her an ideal guest for a deep dive into the strange, the unseen, and the wonderfully weird.

    Chris brings a perspective shaped by years working behind the scenes in film, TV, and audio production, where the line between illusion and reality is thinner than most people realise. From the tricks of the trade to the moments where the unexplained refuses to stay in the shadows, she offers a rare look at how the paranormal intersects with the world of media.

    But this episode doesn’t stop at ghosts and gadgets. Chris also explores the mysteries of the human mind, why we perceive what we perceive, how our brains fill in the blanks, and why some experiences feel so profoundly real even when logic tries to argue otherwise. It’s a conversation that moves effortlessly between psychology, storytelling, and the supernatural.

    With topics ranging from haunted locations to audio anomalies, belief vs. scepticism, and the creative power of imagination, this episode is one of the widest‑ranging and most thought‑provoking yet. Whether you’re a believer, a sceptic, or somewhere in between, Chris brings insights that will have you rethinking how you see, and hear the world around you.

  • Roman Spirits of the British Isles: The Boo‑Foons Go Continental

    This week, the Boo‑Foons Mystery Investigators are crossing borders without leaving home, chasing Italian ghosts who’ve apparently taken up residence across the British Isles.

    From misty moors to stately homes, reports of Roman spectres have echoed for centuries. These ancient soldiers, engineers, and citizens seem reluctant to abandon the empire’s old outposts. The most famous case? A basement in York, where witnesses claim to have seen a full legion marching through the walls, their spectral legs vanishing below the floorboards, as if still treading the buried Roman road beneath.

    Armed with EMF meters, Spirit Boxes, and a healthy dose of sceptical banter, the Boo‑Foons dive head‑first into these stories to uncover what really lingers from Rome’s occupation. Are these disciplined apparitions guarding their lost empire, or simply stuck on eternal patrol?

    As Steve and Dan investigate, they ask the timeless question: “What did the Romans ever do for us?” Well… they gave us this episode, and possibly a few restless ghosts still marching through Britain’s history.

  • The Boo‑Foons and the Ghosts of Drury Lane

    The Boo‑Foons are heading deep into London’s theatrical heart, Drury Lane, to totally ignore the mysterious Muffin Man before stepping into the legendary Theatre Royal. Rumour has it the stage is crowded not just with actors, but with spirits: from whispering stagehands to the ghostly laughter of audiences long gone.

    But tonight’s investigation has a special twist. Among the spectral cast is the ghost of one of Steve’s least favourite figures, Joseph Grimaldi, the original clown who turned slapstick into art. His painted grin is said to linger in the wings, and some swear they’ve heard his laughter echo through the stalls after midnight.

    Meanwhile, the legendary Dan Leno, a beloved Victorian music hall comedian and pantomime dame, also haunts Drury Lane. His ghost is often accompanied by the faint scent of lavender, a perfume he used in life to mask his struggles with alcoholism. Leno’s spirit is said to appear in his old dressing room, offering a wistful presence among the theatre’s shadows.

    Adding to the theatre’s spectral ensemble is the mysterious Grey Man, a ghostly figure dressed in 18th-century attire, complete with a grey riding cloak and tricorne hat. Sightings of the Grey Man are considered a good omen for a successful show, as he silently crosses the upper circle before vanishing into the walls.

    Together, these spirits weave a rich tapestry of history, mystery, and eerie charm that the Boo‑Foons are eager to explore.

  • Boo-Foons meet The Bantering Banshees.

    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.

  • All Aboard the Boo-Foon Train!

    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.

  • Sebastian vs. The Supernatural: A Boo-Foons Interview Special

    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.
