Hey everyone. Thank you so much for your continued support. We wanted to let our listeners know that, as part of the launch of Season 10, we are making some slight changes to how we title our episodes. The episode name will now include a reference to the topic of the episode rather than a season and episode number. To maintain consistency, we will also be amending historic episode titles over the next few weeks / months. Have a wonderful 2025, and thanks again for listening!

We have launched our new merch store with TeeMill, where you can purchase shirts, sweaters, mugs and tote bags!

We have recently launched a new YouTube channel for They Walk Among Us. Subscribe to see documentary-style videos to accompany the podcast. Strictly cases from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Covering the sinister to the surreal.
