Mothman

Urbane Legends ·

2024/06/19

For the final episode of this series we cautiously unbutton the oil covered dungarees of the Mothman. Do we like what we see or was this all a big mistake? Well listen to find out. We cant really figure out why it is so well known but the local town has made the most of it and we at Urbane Legends salute that every time. Also there is some AI positive chat, a payoff for a running joke no one finds funny and a call on anyone who listens to email any question for a mailbag episode. Otherwise we have

Rendlesham Forrest Incident

2024/06/12

Well this week we come on to a subject that the Chris seemed to be very excited about, even suggesting it could be a two parter! Did it happen? Well the eagle eyed of you will see this is part one of one, its the Rendlesham Forrest UFO Incident, a very over hyped encounter. We find out that the BBC prefers to to talk to a woodsman than explain what their article is even about, get caught again by 'the sceptics of Wiki' and eventually find some stuff thats interesting. We also read out a script for

We asked a survey of 100 people what subject would they like to hear a podcast episode on urban legends about. The top answer was....Japanese toilet ghosts! We then asked for the 100 people to be replaced but by then, as they say, the die was cast. Yes this week we pop on over to Japan to look at a ghostly legend of the porcelain kind. Not porcine, thats different, try series one episode two 'Pigman'. This is a fairly thin legend so the guy have a lot of unrelated chat from Sir Bamber Topcat to

Dover Demon

Urbane Legends ·

2024/05/30

On this weeks thrilling instalment of Tintin we head back to the days of Disco in Dover Massachusetts, the most complicated to spell State, where several witnesses in short order all saw the same strange creature lurking about. Two drew it independently and the pictures matched. What was it? We dont know. Was it scary? Not really. Has it been seen since? Nope. So, you may ask, how do you get an hour and 10 pod out of that? Well, that why we're the best in the business. Hosted on Acast. See

Redcaps

2024/05/23

On this historical British day for Britain, recorded mere minuets after an election has been called for the 4th July (thats right US listeners, we have 6 weeks build up, must sound like a dream to you) we discuss both the political news as you demand from us as the internets most hot takey political podcast AND the vehemently non-political Redcaps (thought maybe a bit) a terrifying Goblin from the Anglo Scottish boarders. Physically pretty intimidating, a weapon carrier with a need for blood for

Hodag

2024/05/16

A lot of people say 'better late than never' but im not hear to tell you how to think, so simply here is the episode and its late. This week we look at the biggest thing to come out of Wisconsin since Opra Winfrey the Hodag. Its over 125 years old and is a true story of the pioneer spirit, strip logging and one mans business acumen. Also Chris discusses a new career in espionage, Neil finds out why Sienfeld is harder than it looks with lanyard chat and there is another nail biting game of Weel or

Sad Satan

2024/05/08

This week we delve into the area of computers known mysteriously as the 'Dark Webs', well we dont obviously but someone might of, to the legendry game called 'Sad Satan'. Now you may think by the title that Satan or Ol' Nick as I know him, would feature heavily or have some kind of basic involvement. Well you may well be wrong there as we're we but two worse character turn up at some point. It's a corridor simulator basically and reminds me of a lot of games I have bought on Steam which were early

Letta the Doll

Urbane Legends ·

2024/05/02

Yes indeed! It's our annual look at a haunted doll. With each year the story gets thinner BUT this one was taken to psychics for analysis so the science is there. It's Australia's next Hollywood star and is sure to eclipse Scarlett Johanson, Russel Crow and Jim Crocodile 'Dundee' (not many people know his name was Jim Crocodile, the 'Dundee' part was the nickname due to his love of the Scottish football team of the same name). If you can get to Walla walla you can have a photo with the haunted toy

Skinwalkers

Urbane Legends ·

2024/04/25

This week the podcast and the people who speak on it look at the strange world of the Skinwalkers. They are an ancient and malevolent creature, are they still man or are they now beast? Or, like most of us, a little of both. They have been connected with all kinds of other paranormal activity and became a weird trend on Tictok during the pandemic when we were all 100% in our strongest mental place. We attempt to treat the topic with required respect but are self aware enough to know we more than

The Chronovisor

2024/04/18

This week we take a poke around the Vatican to see whats all this we hear about super science, uber tech and digital occultism. Some Priest made some pretty big claims and said he and some famous/infamous scientists got their heads together to create something amazing. You will notice I am dancing what this particular thing is, I read in a 'guide to good sex' from 1972 that it often best to keep some mystery and will make the object of your affection desire you more, and in this instance you,

Don Decker

Urbane Legends ·

2024/04/11

This week on Urgent Lemons, the podcast that may be sceptical but is never cynical, we meet Don Decker in genuinely the most intriguing case of possible possession that we have come across. He gains some strange but ultimately harmless powers, like a weak X Man (discussed) but the really interesting thing is the sheer amount of witnesses who gave statements. It was a lot of fun to do and Neil really throws himself into the reading, like he has been given a new lease of life! So many thanks to the

Dobhar-Chu

2024/04/04

This week we take a mental trip back our ancestral homeland the Island called Ireland to check out the 'King of the Otters' or 'King of the Lakes' Dobhar-Chu (pronounced Doo-war Coo to the uninitiated, obviously Neils and Chris both speak and read fluent Gallic). Its a mixed up cryptid, sometimes known as Ireland answer to a Crocodile and there have been sightings from the 17th Century to the 2000's. But, here's the kicker, its not one crazy mother, its a whole species, possibly migratory. Fast as a

Havana Syndrome

2024/03/28

Havana, big cigars, Rum, sexy dancing and secret weapons?! This week we look at the ongoing confusion around Havana Syndrome, a medical issue that has been reported by CIA staff (Chief Information Army) and their Canadian equivalent that affects the mind, ears and guts and probably more. And we here at Urbane Legends clear up the confusion, go point by point over the facts and science and finally reveal, indisputably, what it is. Neils also a prospect for a pack of wild dogs and other stuff.

Beast of Bladenboro

Urbane Legends ·

2024/03/20

This week is another 'Beast of....' episode in this surprisingly Beast based first half of the series, its the (possibly) vampiric beast of Bladenboro. Its original reign of terror was back in the 50's but it may have made a comeback in 2007, like the Pompadour hair cut. Its an animal of some kind, a bear cat, a hairy otter, a rabbit thats 8 foot long with massive fangs and a penchant for jazz, a 4 legged turkey with two robot arms that escapes on a longboard, no one really agrees on which of these

In this weeks episode we enter the world of Interplanetary Being Communications (IBC) and look at the possible US black budget secret project, names Serpo. Tying in with Roswell and other stuff was there an exchange with some friendly grey lads? And did some Hu-mans go to their planet on a sort of foreign exchange programme? Does an Alien die willingly to consummate its love with a scientist? And what is the Alien home world like? All this will be answered in the next hour or so. Plus Chris finally

MoMo - The Missouri Monster

Urbane Legends ·

2024/03/07

Well ladies and gentlemen we may have found the most boring monster ever, MoMo. There is little to redeem the subject of this episode and perhaps the episode itself beyond being loyal or a complitionist. Chris gets fooled into reading an article which is meant to be about the creature but seems to be a voice to text recording of someone who has sniffed too many solvents and the guys get increasingly irate. Though from the ashes of story and possibly the final nail in the coffin of the podcast maybe

Zanzibar, Tanzania. There has just been an election and the incumbent is refusing to leave. Tensions are high in the towns and cities, the military are on the street to keep order but you dont know who they side with. You watch the news on your TV, riots in the capital and the ex-President is saying the elections are to be nullified. The rightful winner of the vote is being pleaded with to leave the country for their own safety but they are refusing. The member of the ANC speak out and people start

Soviet Monkey Business

Hot off the press, better late than never, here is this weeks episode. After Putins interview with haunted Frankfurter Tuckler Karlsson we look at a time when a country really did try and use genetics to create a super soldier, yep it was the artist formally known as the soviet union. Lots of other stuff, i'll be honest i haven't gathered my thoughts as im getting this out fast. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Teresita Basa - Ghost Witness

Urbane Legends ·

2024/02/15

Can you be a snitch if you are snitching on the person who had murdered you from beyond the grave? I know what the streets would say, unequivocally yes. But is it wrong to snitch on someone who murdered you? The street, again, would say yes. But that's what Terresita Basa did to solve her own cold case murder presumably knowing what it would do to her street cred. Yes via the gift of 'Ghost Trance Initiation' (GTI tm*) she pointed the finger and the case was solved. Or was it? And why are the
