The Rocking Chair/The Banshee

Monday Oct 20, 2025

The Banshee: Ireland’s Harbinger of DeathPull up a stool, pour yourself something strong, and join Colleen for a deep dive into one of Ireland’s most chilling legends: the banshee. She’s not your average ghost — she’s a centuries-old omen of death, wailing her way through castles, riverbanks, and family histories. We’ll unravel her origins, explore real historical encounters, wander through haunted sites across Ireland, and sip some whiskey along the way. Equal parts eerie and irreverent, this episode will have you laughing one minute and side-eyeing the window the next. Sláinte!
