Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators

This week on Boo-Foons Off the Case. Dan’s swapped his usual Norwich City devotion for his local women’s team, whilst discussing the community feel and the sheer joy of football. Steve, meanwhile, spends most of the chat rolling his eyes because football and sport in general, is his personal nightmare. Then the Boo‑Foons take a hard swerve into the strange world of voodoo death syndrome, unpacking the folklore, the psyc...

The Boo-Foons discuss a legend from the dark waters of Loch Ness. In this episode, Steve and Dan explore the centuries long mystery of Nessie, from ancient Pictish carvings and Saint Columba’s “water beast” to the 1930s media frenzy, modern sonar hunts, giant‑eel theories, hoaxes, folklore and the psychology of seeing monsters in places built for myth. Loch Ness becomes a character in its own right, a vast, peat b...

Boo‑Foons Off the Case returns with a blend of movie nostalgia and ghostly mystery, because of course it does. Steve and Dan kick things off by debating the greatest decade in cinema, jumping from 80s blockbusters to 90s cult classics and everything in between. It’s passionate, chaotic and just organised enough to count as film criticism. Then the episode takes a wonderfully odd detour into a mini mystery: Sister Barbara of M...

The Boo‑Foons deep dive a winter cabin, a bestselling author and a night that changed alien lore forever. Steve and Dan explore Whitley Strieber’s infamous Communion encounter. The Visitors, the craft, the procedures, the face that became a global icon and the mysterious implant that sparked decades of controversy. From trauma and mysticism to pop culture impact and ongoing debate, this episode unpacks one of the most influen...

It’s another week of Boo‑Foons Off the Case. The cosy chaos corner where Steve and Dan decompress, overshare, and somehow turn everyday nonsense into "premium" entertainment. This episode starts innocently enough with squishy toys… before Dan launches into the wild world of TikTok, recounting everything from scammers with tragic acting skills to trolls who treat livestream drama like a full time job. Meanwhile, Steve t...

The Boo-Foons dive into the world of ghost ships and maritime mysteries this week.

Sam from The Thing UFO returns! But this time, he’s bringing ghosts. In this special episode of Boo‑Foons Mystery Investigators, Sam shares the eerie encounters that may have been the guiding spirit that lead him to investigate UFOs. Along with his theories that ghosts might not be what we think, but part of a much stranger phenomenon. Steve digs into the mechanics, Dan gets increasingly unsettled and Sam blurs the line betwe...

It's Saturday, which means it's another episode of Boo-Foons Off the Case. This week, Steve and Dan wrap up their Dartmoor and Bodmin Jail adventure in a single chaotic, folklore soaked whirlwind, revisiting misty moorland hikes, eerie tors, strange noises in the fog and the moment Dan became convinced a ghostly prisoner was following him. From Dartmoor legends and ghost sightings to the dark, claustrophobic corridors of Bodmin Jai...

The Boo‑Foons head into the unseen world this week as they investigate the Jinn.

From desert legends to modern encounters, the Boo‑Foons dive into one of the world’s olde...

It’s another episode of Boo‑Foons Off the Case. This time, Steve and Dan relive their trip to the Boconnoc Steam Fair.

From getting lost between towering traction engines to discovering stalls that defy logic, they unpack the charm, confusion and nostalgia of the event while spi...

The Boo‑Foons head into Australia’s shadowy waterways this week. Chasing the bunyip, a creature that lurks in billabongs, volcanic lakes, mangrove swamps, and the darker corners of colonial history. From bunyip heads displayed in museums to waterholes that rise without warning, Dan and Steve wade through folklore, megafauna mysteries, and the eerie idea that the land remembers everything.

It’s another week of Boo‑Foons Off the Case. The series where Steve and Dan let their hair down and just chat.

This time on Boo‑Foons Off the Case. Steve and Dan dive into the art of being controversial, mostly because Dan brings up that Steve and Editor Dave constantly bully Dan for being shorter than them. Between Steve’s increasingly chaotic website drawings (where Dan shrinks and inflates like a furious thumb) and Dave’s editorial sabotage, the Boo‑Foons question whether this is harassment or just friendship with extra spice...

The Boo‑Foons visit the Tower of London for a historical, yet haunting day out. From Anne Boleyn’s headless wanderings to the phantom bear nobody asked for. Dan and Steve stumble through Traitor’s Gate, the Bloody Tower, and even the Jewel House, where a very committed ghostly keeper still patrols. It’s Tudor tantrums, spectral surprises, and a fortress full of ghosts who absolutely did not sign up for visitors. ...

This week, the Boo‑Foons are joined by David, a man so knowledgeable about Doctor Who that even the TARDIS would ask him for directions. Together, they dive head first into the Whoniverse, exploring classic episodes, lost lore, and the sort of deep‑cut trivia only David could deliver without breaking a sweat. But it wouldn’t be Off the Case without a detour into the weird. The Boo‑Foons bring back their mini mysteries segment...
