Episode Haunted Ireland: Why the Supernatural Mattered to Our Ancestors [Listener Favourite]
The supernatural is viewed with healthy scepticism today but not so in the past. This episode looks at what our ancestors really believe about ghosts and the supernatural? Historian Dr Clodagh Tait joins me to explore why the supernatural was so important to Irish society and how they were woven into every day life.
First released in October 2023, this listener-favourite episode examines why the supernatural mattered in Irish history.
On November 11 my new series, The Shepherds' Secrets begins. This series explores the history of the Ireland's notorious Magdalene Laundries through the story of the Waterford Good Shepherd Magdalene Laundry.
