S2 Ep29: Your Questions - part 1

Good morning from the Norfolk Folklore Society!

This month, we’re handing the microphone over to you—our lovely loyal followers! That’s right, our latest podcast is dedicated entirely to your questions, and you had so many that we’ve had to split them into two – or maybe even three! - episodes. Your curiosity knows no bounds, and we love you for it.

In this first part, we tackle some truly excellent queries, including:

What is the spookiest place we’ve ever been, and was it too spooky to return?
Who would win in a fight—the Gildencroft Bogey or the Hikey Sprite? (A grudge match for the ages.)
Have we ever visited somewhere, heard a strange story about it, and then felt the place change when we returned?
What are our top recommendations for books about folklore, fiction and non-fiction?
What’s your favourite fictional supernatural tale, and why would it have been better if it was set in Norfolk?

And much, much more. If you don’t hear your question this time, fear not—it’s coming up in next month’s episode!

Want to get involved? You can send us your folklore musings, eerie inquiries, and very specific battles between legendary beings by:

Now, settle in and let’s get weird.

With spectral handshakes and cryptid cuddles,

Siofra and Stacia
