We were delighted to welcome the wonderful Alice Crick as our next speaker on July 26 at Arboretum on St Benedict’s Street.
Alice’s talk was called Faunus: Landscape, Memory, and Folk Practice. Here, she explains what she spoke about:
“The great god Faunus has haunted the wildwoods of Norfolk for aeons, leaping across heathlands and fens into other counties whilst also keeping his fluid limbs ready to change names and forms. This will be an exploration of his titles, found in the great Thetford Hoard, as well as musing upon his associations with Silvanus, Bacchus and beyond into the realms of Bigfoot - that ever present and elusive spirit of the wood. For those who would like inspiration and magic, a glimmer of folk practise will be revealed…” -
The Weirdos are back after an unscheduled break. This week we discuss the Hethersett Faines. Are they a distant relative of Black Shuck? Are they dogs or cows? Do they ride bikes? We ask all these questions and more. Also, Stacia teaches us some Norfolk dialect and we learn about some other interesting characters in Hethersett.

This week the weirdos have a chat about Kitty Witches Row in Great Yarmouth. We look at the various reasons, some weird, some not, for the interesting name of this Yarmouth Row. Was it witches? was it morris dancers? was it crabs?

Stacia and Siofra don't travel far for their second Heritage Open Days episode. The ladies have a picnic at Thetford Priory and discuss body snatching, miracles, murder and ghosts all of which happened at the priory.

We’ve got a very special podcast for you today: we travelled across the border to Bungay to speak to two eye witnesses who have seen – or heard – everyone’s favourite cryptid canine, Black Shuck. Another eye witness account from Bacton is also shared.
This episode's cover image is by the very talented Matt Willis and taken from Shuck Zine.
