Samhain Special: Irish Mythology and Customs and the Origins of Halloween

Marcas and Stephie talk about the various tales from Irish Mythology that reference Samhain and the ghastly cast of ghoulish entities associated with them. We also talk folklore, customs, games, robbing pallets for the bonfire and dressing up in bin bags to go out and scare your neighbours. 

No main story this week but we do have one on our patreon, info below. 

Written, presented and produced  by Marcas Ó hUiscín and Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh.
