Ever wondered about the true nature of fairies? Prepare yourself for a spellbinding journey as we uncover the dark and eerie folklore of the Sluagh, the malevolent fairy folk from Ireland and Scotland. After a brief summer hiatus, we return with a brand new editor to elevate your listening experience and plenty of fresh content, including details on our upcoming giveaways. This episode unravels the myths surrounding the Sluagh, their sinister habit of stealing spirits and transforming them into wicked dogs, and the unsettling encounters that suggest these beings are anything but benevolent.
In this episode, we delve deeply into Celtic lore, specifically focusing on the Sluagh or Sidhe. We'll debunk the popular misconception of fairies as friendly creatures and reveal their darker, more terrifying sides. From the moral dilemmas of transferring curses, akin to the plot of "It Follows," to the harrowing story of a boy from Barra, Scotland, whose soul was stolen by the Sluagh, we cover it all. Expect to be both entertained and spooked as we discuss how these malevolent spirits have influenced cultural beliefs and personal experiences. Join us as we navigate these tales and invite you to feel like part of our haunted family.
