Are you a fan of hauntings, vortexes, lay lines, mysterious shit and Pigman? Well this is the pod for you. Each week a new urban legend is looked at with a non-scientific rigour only seen usually at the top of government. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fast forward you may even fall in love (unrelated).

Feel free to email about the show if you have any theories about anything discussed, and urban legends you want us to look at, if you want any advice on etiquette or anything or have a speed boat to sell Neil. If the email is insulting I should state in advance that I have a black web hacker on retainer and I am very vindictive.

Urbane Legends

UB 85 Monster Attack

200TH (STANDARD) EPISODE!!! As a podcast we like to do things a little differently. Yes a lot would make a big deal about a landmark episode but we on Urbane Legends are celebrating it with a low energy episode about something no one has ever heard of. But dont worry, there is still one more surprise episode of the series to come. This episode is about when cryptids teamed up with the Royal Navy to take over a submarine during WW1.

Harold Holt's Disappearance

AKA the Ballad of Holt-o. This week we look at the disappearance of Australian Prime minister Holt-o. A man who's political career was built on a plane crash, the catching and eating of spears, swimming, womanising and.....spy craft? Well we look through all the evidence with the finest of toothed combs, like a flea comb or something to get to the bottom of this indelible mystery.

Urbane Legends

In this episode of the podcast that is called 'Urbane Legends' apparently, these two tits from England talk about some legend or something, i think they must be stupid, about some kind of monster or snake of something in Africa or Asia, cant remember, and some idiots who went to look for it in the forest and some of them were doing it because of the Bible or whatever and loads of the locals seemed to think it was real but i dont trust them and then it finished. 1*

Hot Wells Hotel Haunting

Have you seen whats going on at the Hot Wells Hotel? Some glass blower is having a party with some artists, ghosts and skateboarders! Dont worry, it will burn down in a minuet. Yes its a haunted hotel in San Antonio, Texas. Originally from the times of the wild wild west and still going now its had a storied history, a strange history and a mainly being on fire history. However the tickets are pretty reasonable so could be a decent day out, especially if tied to the pub crawl which is also offered. Thats living alright.

Tsarichina Hole

A hole, a phenomenon, an army and a podcast. All these come together this week as we hop on the megabus to Eastern Europe to check out the legendary Tsarichina Hole. Or holes. Yes there are two separate things going on. One is a mysterious timeless folk tale and one is the Engineering Core of the Bulgarian Army. And what do the locals know? They aren't saying or weren't told. This may feel like several sentences of someone saying nothing, if it does, well spotted, you're a sharp one. Good day

London Garrotting Panic

All that is new has gone before. In this depressing episode of the podcast we look at a panic that swept London in the 19th century. Are their any parallels to today that can be drawn? Surely not, we are much more sophisticated now right? Ugh

When is a man and egg? When is an egg a dream? When is a dream a lie? And when is a lie a kindness? Thats right, its this weeks episode of Urbane Legends, the stonewashed jean review podcast where this week we look at a mysterious silver ball found in Florida. Is it alien? Is it industrial? So many questions are both answered and ignored in your favourite weekly hit of Billy Joel Trivia on this, the 'Billy Joel Stans' podcast with Flynn and Herby

Urbane Legends

Love them or loath them Mimics are a fact of life. From the helpful Doppelganger who goes into work for you when you've had a skin full the night before to the much more troubling Jim Carey doing a Mick Jagger impression on a British tallent show in the late 80's they fill our lives in good and bad way. We all have learned to accept this as part of our reality. But have you ever stood back and thought to yourself 'Is is right?'. This episode asks the unspoken question, breaks the taboo and discusses 'Mimics, who asked for them, and why should they get benefits when Humans are struggling'

This one is for the completionists. We look at the looooooong and boring original creepypasta Ted the Caver. Listen in amazement as the guys struggle through this episode, with grit, determination and an almost fanatical devotion to their craft. Basically, we are sorry. It makes excellent brown noise to go to sleep to.

The Verginha Incident

Morning. This episode takes us to Brazil in the 1990's, no it isn't a tail of Suede's antics on tour but a close encounter of the sweaty kind. So what we know is it definitely isn't Prince Andrew...this time. There was a UFO crash ('we dont got wind where we comes from!') investigated by a military man, and three young women found the alien, alone and scarred in a lot behind the shops or something. But the brass have tried to pass it off as wonderful character 'Mudinho', a local with addiction issues and disabilities. Neil is also introduced to the dark enlightenment and resident beta cuck Chris offers out people who call other humans NPS's. Will anyone be brave enough to take this 7 stone weakling up on his poorly considered offer?

The Haunting of Wallsend Mill

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?
