This week we dive into the mysterious forest of Hoia Baciu. Is this Romania's most haunted forest? UFOs, Ghosts and portals to another dimension all in the same place?

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.

This week join us as we explore the terrifying and smelly world of the Swap Slobs. Also featuring cheeky cheery Carnies, Jaded cops too old for this and a slew of Randys we are back to the 70s where we belong.

The hottest podcast in the world returns after a brief hiatus and we explain our strategy for the Pod. Chris raises his concerns with the proposed digital ID but Neil is too dead inside to care. Meanwhile we dive into the mind-blowing 23 Enigma. Confirmation Bias or something more sinister? Listen on to find out...

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.

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*

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.

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

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

This week we catch up to discuss the reasonably heartwarming Pig faced ladies legend. We try and avoid falling into the manosphere likie the soyboy cucks we are while discussing witchcraft, regency golddiggers, getting cucked by God and much more.

In this week's double bill episode all sorts to discuss: Elephants swimming habits, Cocktail tips, Smash robots, Vague reportage and seemingly everything but the Goggle-eyed sea monster and UFO sightings that make up this ep. Sometimes less is more.

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...

On this weeks episide we explore the wild swine of hampstead, find out far more about the shit based economy of Victorian London than expected and hang out with the Toshers and Tosher adjacent rougues like Queen Rat.

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.

Tonight on Urbane Legends - Miami.... "you got some god dam nerve showing up here"...."Its not what it looks like..."...."You we're like a brother to me"...."I'll tell you who i am, im the god dam mayor of this city, and your off the case"...."i thought i'd find you here, that seat taken?"...."Just like old times!"......"I learned that one in the Navy"....."Neil? Neil?! Noooooooooo!" We also look at a selection of Black Dog myths from around the United Kingdom. They all agree its some kind of demon but they are quite a lot of...

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...

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?

This week on the podcast, which youtube has issues with due to its outsized influence in the US and UK elections apparently, we have another story which starts with people drinking shine on the porch at 2am, its the Houston Batman. Was he or they a midnight creeper and peeper? A UFO? Shine madness? We may never know but something did happen because it was reported in newspapers, the gold standard.

Trigger Warning! There is computer game chat in this episode. Are Neil and Chris doing a dry run for a re-boot of Gamesmaster with Joe Swash as the new Patrick Moore? Keep your eyes glues to the Dave channel. In this episode we dig through the landfill of late stage capitalist thinking but was there actually something else going on? The guys certainly seem to have some questions that need answers about the insanity of the whole thing. Or was it just cocaine?

It this weeks more reasonable episode we have a look at the internet legend of Funland. It's a story about blossoming manhood and being in love with a very tempting, very enticing inanimate object. We have all thought about it but what happens when the object becomes the objectee and the manhood becomes the cooker hood? Well, thats one read of the story, another is someone once saw and episode of Scooby Do, i can do that but worse.

Welcome to Engerland, home of the pint, home of the brave, did Jesus footsteps once walk upont these sacred hills? Borley Rectory is in England. But it's not pints it serves, its the paranormal. With a chaser of lust. Easy, you've had a few, sure you can drive? Of course lust driving is the second biggest killer on Angerlands roads after American diplomats wives, so be safe. The episode is much like this throughout. Did it need and hour forty? Yes

Having settled all their legal disputes, medical claims and blood feuds the lads (42 and 47 respectively) are back in the saddle of the strange and enlightening world of Urban Legends. For a bit of fun to kick off the series we have a chuckle at classic bants Weekly World News and their main pin up (it's meant to be erotic right?) Batboy. Yep from the caves of West Virginia, where I get my backy, to Iraq and biting the Queen, its a bit of fun.
