In honor of St. Patrick's Day this week's episode brings tales of murder, mystery, mayhem and hauntings from the on the Emerald Isle of Ireland. And may be one story from a nearby Isle.
There is nothing more Irish than a haunted pub and Cavanaugh's Pub in Dublin may be the most haunted of them all. Built adjacent to a cemetery, digging up dirt from the graveyard and throwing it against the side of the pub is a favorite pastime of customers. It may come as no surprise that this bar is haunted AF.
The ghosts of Northern Ireland are a bit more agressive and have been known to slap the bejesus out of people. At least that's the ghost that haunts 91 Beechmont Grove's favorite thing to do. She is described as a Victorian woman wearing a black dress and she does not mess around.
The Maiden Tower isn't just a rad name for an 80s hair band, it's also the name of the brothel run by accused witch Dorcus "Darkey" Kelley, the focus of Britt's second story. According to legend, Darkey got mixed up with a a member of the Hellfire Club, a devil worshipping secret society for18th century playboys and it cost her her life. To this day she is seen quietly walking the streets of Dublin.
And then for the last story, it's just a hop skip and a jump over the pond to the Irishish country of England and a pub with links to Jack the Ripper. Something unholy is happening in the basement and one bartender isn't sticking around to find out what the entity wants.
Happy Saint Patricks Day and Top of the Evening to you!
