    Xmas Pig 2024 with The Quantum Mechanics!
    Dec 31 2024
    For the last Xmas Pig of 2024, The Quantum Mechanics join James for a final piggy tryptic of tales. With stories from the UK's "Cannock Chase" to America's "Road Bridge" it seems The Pigman gets around a bit. Whether he be a butcher gone wrong or the victim of a science experiment also gone wrong, The Pigman is always a source of terror... This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor.

  • Loremen S5Ep62 - The Pig-faced Phantom of Chelsea

    Loremen S5Ep62 - The Pig-faced Phantom of Chelsea
    Dec 12 2024
    A strait-laced reverend meets a surprisingly seductive ghost with the face of a pig. Who will win? The pig-faced phantom of Chelsea, of course! Christmas Pig has come early. The Loremen dig into the origins of the porcine spectre, and uncover what might be one of Britain’s earliest urban legends. If you believe the tabloid press, cities were once awash with swinish visages and hoggish fizzogs. There’s Tannakin Skinker, the wonderful Mrs Atkinson and the pig-faced woman of Manchester Square. It’s all good seasonal fun. And a reminder that the past could be horrible if you looked a bit different. Or were a woman. Not like the present, eh? EH??? Seasons Scratchings!
