Summary

Are the paths of Wiltshire stalked by a pagan deity in disguise? Usually on Loremen we recount tales that are seldom told, but this week is different. The legend of the Peaked Red One was, in fact, told by James and Alasdair at the Strange Days Festival of Forteana. But the sound quality was a bit bobbins, so we told our stories again, and here they are! There's ghosts, treasure and a little man with a pet trout. See the ⁠⁠Loremen LIVE in London on Oct 15th⁠⁠.

There was loose geese, there was mucky ducks. There was some looseness and some goosness, yes, I recall. There were loose geese.
