Episode notes

About this episode

Ireland’s ghost stories draw from ruined castles, landed estates, prisons, cemeteries, public houses and rural tradition. Created for St. Patrick’s season, this episode travels across the island for seven places associated with reported encounters and enduring folklore.

The journey begins at Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland, then crosses the Republic of Ireland for Charleville Castle and Malahide Castle. In Dublin, it visits Glasnevin Cemetery and The Brazen Head, places with very different roles in the city’s history.

The final stories come from Wicklow’s Historic Gaol and Glenullin in County Londonderry. The episode keeps documented site history distinct from local legend while recognizing that Irish supernatural traditions cross modern political boundaries. Consider it a tour of spectral spirits rather than the bottled kind.
