Urbane Legends

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...

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 fo...

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...

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 s...

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 real...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 increasing...

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 t...

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 A...

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...

Today we look at a BEAST that TERRORISED the well to do people of Lytham for a period of time. What's a Lytham I hear you cry? Well its a town on the southern outskirts of the UK's answer to Las Vegas, Blackpool. Its very posh in comparison. For example instead of a finding a group of older gentlemen on a stag do for Geoff's third marriage throwing up on a donkey, you will find two golf courses. Y...

This week on the 8th best Urban Legends podcast on the internet as judged by the panel at Feedspot Podcasts (https:podcasts.feedspot.com/urban_legends_podcasts/) which isn't bad for a Podcast which is only vaguely about that; is the intriguing disappearance of super rich scion of the Rockerfeller family Michael in what is now part of Indonesia but back then called 'Dutch New Guinea'. I'm getting r...

Hey do you like the internet? You're right, it IS a mixed bad. This week we look at one of the aforementioned 'internet's most famous urban legends, or as 'on-liners' call it 'creepypasta' the tale of Smiledog.jpg. A fairly patient malevolent mind trespassing demonic dog who is desperately trying to go viral by any means possible, which as the co-creator of a small podcast I can understand. Differ...

This week we head to the other side of our increasingly connected world to perform a through investigation on the Bukit Timah Monkey Man. There have been several sightings, he may come from folklore (unverified) and there are a few pictures of this lad, one where he looks like he has been littering like a disaffected teenager who has been let down by the system and slipped through the cracks. But...

Morning, how did you sleep? Oh that's a shame, it might be time to go and see a doctor, anyway I recorded this podcast with Neil....yes that Neil, for you to listen to. Its about a mysterious cave in central Europe called the Moonshaft. What do you mean it sounds dull? It has Nazis, bat eating, naked greased up pot holing, geology, death and love. In many ways this story encapsulates the entire hu...

And we are back! When will we take the hint? Never! Yes back with series 6 and episode 1 is a look at the well known urban legend of Backmasking. Did notorious Satanists the Beatles use backmasking to get people into smoking pot? Has backmasking been used to subliminally control music fans minds for years? Well to be fair, i dont mind Ed Sheeran but 14 number ones? It is a bit fishy. We also talk...

Is there a war on Christmas? You will be unsurprised to hear, no there isn't, not even a hint of one. So why do people say it? To make people angry at other people to distract from the people they should be angry with of course. We have a look at the 'evidence' sited for this non-war. Its even worse than you thought. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Has Christmas become too commercial? Has it always been this way? Are people these days allowed to just make up a degree title? Lets find out.....the hard way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many people think that a lot of our modern Christmas traditions started with the Victorians. Is this true? Or have the ever powerful Victorian lobby been up to their own tricks Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A lot of stuff are attributed to being part of Christmas but are they really? Lets have a little look Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
