Stories of the Supernatural: share the folklore of your parish

Stories of the Supernatural

With stories from your own parish told by YOU!

As the nights get longer and Halloween approaches,  you are invited to delve into the folklore of your own parish that deals with the unexplained and the supernatural. Resurrect stories from your past told by grandparents or old neighbours.

Do you remember folklore about haunted houses, enchanted lakes or the Hungry Grass? Music from the fairies or lights seen in forts? Meeting the black dog or the death coach on the road? Piseogs, wise women, healers?

Even for those who haven’t heard it first-hand, if you’ve found a story written down, share it; be it the Schools’ Folklore Collection, Westropp’s Folklore of Clare, or an old diary, this is your night to bring it to life.

Find your parish’s stories and share them with us on Samhain Eve, Friday October 31st, at Canny's Bar Killanena, 7:30-9:30PM. If you don’t have a story but would like to come and listen, you’re just as welcome.

This is not an evening of ‘performance’ or ‘professional’ storytelling, it’s just ordinary people sharing the folklore of their own parishes, re-imagining a time in Co. Clare when beliefs were quite different to today.
