Really good, Davy! I'd love to hear more.

Great work. I remember in a Disney movie there was a death coach that collected the deceased spirit supposedly in Ireland.

[@Tanjacs]

Looking forward!!! 🤩😍

[@davyholden]

Hope you enjoy 😁

[@Tanjacs]

​@davyholden Awesome, Davy!! 🤩💚 One more please!! Don't let the Puca get you if you go to the pub! 😁

[@gallowglass2630]

@@davyholden good but they are not urban legends as they don't relate to anything urban at all

[@bouse23]

Every town or community has its own legends

[@cindycchesney5716]

Davy, I loved these! I'm so curious to learn more about Irish legends. You make them so fascinating .Could you write another book teaching us about these ancient legends and histories? I'm sure that more than one of us would be happy to wait while you write another book.

[@davyholden]

Thanks so much Cindy! That’s definitely an idea for another book in the future. Thanks so much for the idea 😊

[@tolgaakyay]

As an outsider living in Ireland, love your videos :)

[@Loveit1552]

Fascinating! Thank you Davy, always love watching you and hearing your lovely Irish voice. You are a mine of information. God bless you 🙏

[@camilelcoyne]

I love your videos about Irish history and music, and this slight departure from them has been a grand treat. I think it would be great if you made more videos about these spooky legends and stories. Thank you for making Irish culture come to life for us all.

[@larrydee8859]

Once again; great work Davey! These hideously scary folklore stories are fantastic!

[@davyholden]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@phillipnoone8044]

That was GREAT, give us more scary stuff

[@odzychris7996]

Great video!

[@amandadiamond7147]

The Dearg Dhu sound like a great subject for the "Good for Her" genre of horror!

[@blazecorp]

Awesome video. Always enjoy your videos but learning more from the cultural side is great. Keep up the great work!

[@davyholden]

Thanks so much!

[@paolasavoia5289]

Fashinated! Thanks for this. You know, David about the Banshee there were a similar legendary women in Sardinia. They were called Accabadora. If someone was really sick far beyond the possibility to heal the family will call them. At nighttime they will take care of their departure.... it tool place up to 1950 then it stopped, perhaps.... If you happen to buy Accabadora by Michela Murgia you'll get more into the topic. ❤

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

I used to call my dog Puca lol. Thank you for this video!! Irish lore is always a great topic

For another one you could do how Ireland dealt with the curses, superstitions, demons, including haunting

[@ohno2112]

You forgot the tale of Leo Varadkar…. Real scary….

[@SuperBlinding]

No, That's A real Horror Story !

My late mum and Aunty heard the banshee on the evening of my nanas passing.

I live in Texas, a somewhat atypical Irish Catholic. My mother had Parkinson's for 11 years. This past year she had hallucinations 3-4 times a week. In those hallucinations, she described whole families trying to get her. She spent the last year utterly terrified during those periods. We did what we could with psych meds, but the situation was a consequence of a decade of carbilevadopa (the primary neurological drug used to treat PD). As such, there was little that could be done. If she went off the PD meds, she would have declined even faster with more worse debilitating tremors. She chose to stay on the PD meds. Now, my mother had been a severe hoarder resulting in me having to clean the house out at great personal cost in time, finances, and health. In the last months, she received the best hospice care we could give her, but she was still haunted several times a week by a family trying to drag her back into the pine trees. In her head, it was the remnants of her Baltimore Catechism childhood and the unresolved guilt over the hoarding combined to create these terrible hallucinations. But in reality, perhaps the sluagh were pursuing her...

[@mollyjones4165]

I have a book called Irish Tales of Terror and enjoy reading it.

[@sylvainpouliot5289]

yes, please more

[@pauldoyle9709]

I enjoyed that Davy. My Dad, who lived in Newbridge Kildare swore he saw a Banshee sat on a wall combing her hair on a country lane one night when he was a young man. My Mum reckons he was probably on his way home from the pub and a bit worse for wear 😂

[@TheEmperorsChampion964]

There's another one that comes to mind, some grim reaper type that has a whip made out of a human spine and goes around in a carriage can't remember the name of it

[@beyerscoetzee8257]

W Ireland people✊✊

[@almaoconnor2092]

My mam saw a banshe in the early 70s and was killed on a road by a drunk driver in 1979.🙏😢

[@SuperBlinding]

What about the Forgeen Mara ? !

[@djmickyk1]

The banshee cries when members of my family pass away, My great grandfather ( I think it was) actually saw it many years ago and it is indeed a woman.

[@skyking8420]

Step it up Mary come to mind, perhaps influenced by the legend you mention

[@Scotia6261]

The Shankill Butchers

[@sylvie38344]

Banshee reminds me of the Native American Bearwalker. Legend has it, if you hear the Bearwalker, you are going to die. ..similar to the Grim Reaper.
