Norfolk Folklore Society

It's the end of the year so we have a classic review of the year episode for your listening pleasure. Thank you all for sticking with for another year. We promise to get back to sharing podcasts every month. We've even got the January 2026 episode in the bag!

Finally, our live recording at the Bungay Black Shuck Festival 2025! We share an intriguing photo taken recently in Norfolk and we welcome special guests Anne and Tom. They share their absolutely amazing encounter with Black Shuck. Their storytelling and scene setting is just wonderful and it was an honour to have them on the podcast.

Recorded in the basement of The Holloway in Norwich, hidden beneath St Benedict’s Street, this episode was captured before a live audience, though we can’t promise it was only the living who joined us. We explore the rich history of the area and share eerie tales from the neighbouring street, including paranormal encounter on Exchange Street and Pottergate.

In this episode we explore the history and haunting of St Stephen's church in central Norwich. Expect dramatic music, Siofra saying "like" a lot (sorry about that) and what appears to be a pretty rare type of haunting.

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?
