Banshees and Ouija Boards
Episode three of Spooky Club has arrived and it's packed with spooky topics. In this episode we explore the Irish folklore legend of the Banshee, a female entity who would appear and wail to herald the death of a loved one. You wish you hadn't heard, nor seen her. We also explore the Ouija Board. In doing so, we look dive into the history of the board and explore why it has become synonymous with possessions and horror.

Count Dracula: Real or Not?
Episode 2 of Spooky Club is here, and it's all fangs to you! In this episode we explore legendary Irish writer Bram Stoker's iconic character, Count Dracula. We dive into the world of the Count, including the setting of part of the novel - the seaside town of Whitby, and talk about how some of Stoker's novel is actually based on actual events. Also, an Icelandic translation of the novel sheds some light on whether the story is based on real events. I also share my love of The Demeter Edition of Whitby Gin. Standard.
