Urbane Legends ·

2025/05/21

Howay! This week we travel (metaphorically, we wouldn't actually travel, train fairs being what they are) to the mysterious and surreal area of the North East of Engerland. For once, this is an actual intriguing story of haunting which is not easily explained (without the help of throwing in the wild card of Gerard Depardeiu, which we obviously did). Over a century 3 families, multiple generations and many witnesses hauntings were going on in this Mill House. We cant explain it, can you? Hosted on

This week on the podcast, which youtube has issues with due to its outsized influence in the US and UK elections apparently, we have another story which starts with people drinking shine on the porch at 2am, its the Houston Batman.
