  • 5. Hoia Baciu

    01:49:16||Season 9, Ep. 5
    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? Was Neil cursed by a seemingly friendly coworker? How did we manage to get through nearly the whole Pod without mentioning Dracula? Join us to explore these mysteries and email us on chrisandneil@urbanelegends.com with your suggestions for future episodes or just to tell us how great/awful we are.
  • 4. The Gowrow

    01:08:00||Season 9, Ep. 4
    We return to Arkansas for this week’s episode: the terrifying case of the Gowrow. Chris isn’t going to let Neil forget his mispronunciations. We learn about Ozark’s hospitality and sarcasm, discuss the golden era of TV and love of dried apples.

  • 2. The Somerton Man

    01:50:58||Season 9, Ep. 2
    Dig in folks for this week’s extra-long episode. Come for legends that sprung up around the mysterious death; stay for Chris's Chandler from Friends impression, our dumb takes on modern tech, terrible Australian accents, curiously lax police investigations, proof that Neil apparently hasn’t gotten over Lost and Chris’s reviews of the hottest new PS1 games for you to play. Email us on chrisandneil@urbanelegends.com to suggest an episode, say hello,  or to spell out our defects in forensic detail.
  • 1. Gef the Talking Mongoose

    58:30||Season 9, Ep. 1
    Welcome back everyone. After our extended hiatus we return with this week's podcast on Gef the Talking Mongoose. We discuss what to do on the Isle of Man, appreciation for nature, try and puzzle out whether this is a Ghost a talking animal or both at once. For the new series we have a new (easier to remember) email address if you want to get in touch with feedback, suggestions, or death threats: chrisandneil@urbanelegends.com we look forward to hearing from you!
