  • Ghosts, Gulls & Great Expectations

    The Boo-Foons are back with a seaside adventure that blends history, hauntings, and hilarity. In this episode, Steve and Dan journey to Great Yarmouth to investigate a ghostly tale rooted in the English Civil War. As they explore the windswept coast, they uncover whispers of a spectral soldier said to roam the shoreline, his story lost to time but not to legend. With their signature mix of curiosity and chaos, the Boo-Foons dive into local folklore, searching for clues and conjuring theories that are equal parts spooky and silly.

    Along the way, they pay tribute to Great Yarmouth’s most famous son, Horatio Nelson, and recalibrate expectations around Charles Dickens’ seaside sentiments. Between paranormal ponderings and historical hijinks, there’s time for ice cream, seagull dodging, and a few questionable impressions. It’s a trip that’s as much about the journey as the ghost, and one that proves even the quietest corners of the coast can echo with stories waiting to be told. Tune in for seaside spooks, literary laughs, and Boo-Foonery at its “finest”.

  • Ghunt at the British School Museum: A Night of Unsettling Surprises

    Ghunt at the British School Museum: A Night of Unsettling Surprises

    On Saturday the 6th of September 2025, The Boo-Foons took part in Mr Biffo’s Ghost Hunt (or “Ghunt,” as it’s affectionately known) at the British School Museum in Hitchin, a location steeped in history and whispered hauntings. With its creaking floorboards, vintage classrooms, and a reputation for paranormal activity, the museum set the perfect stage for an evening of spectral sleuthing.

    Steve and Dan joined a brilliant crew of content creators, sharp, sceptical, and ready to debunk. None of them expected anything out of the ordinary. But as the night unfolded, the atmosphere shifted.

    They encountered:

    • Multiple EMP spikes reacting to questions and games, these in areas with no obvious electrical interference
    • Spirit box responses that seemed eerily relevant to the questions
    • Sudden cold spots that defied the room’s ambient temperature

    It was the kind of night that leaves you questioning what you thought you knew. And while we’re not jumping to conclusions, there’s a lot to unpack.

    British School Museum: A Night of Unsettling Surprises

    We’ll be reconvening with the rest of the Ghunt team soon to record a special podcast episode diving into the events, the evidence, and the theories. Expect candid reactions, audio clips, and a few laughs as we try to make sense of it all. Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction.

    Stay tuned, this one’s going to be a Boo-Foons classic.
