Irish Folklore: The Fetch, Death Omens, and Piseoga

Send us Fan MailJoin Feliz and Andi on the You Two Scare Me Podcast as they explore the mysterious and often unsettling world of Irish folklore. Discover the chilling phenomenon of "the fetch," a spectral double of a living person seen shortly before their death. Unlike a traditional ghost, the fetch is an image of someone still alive, serving as a powerful death omen in Anglo-Irish folklore. Feliz and Andi also discuss the The Cóiste Bodhar, The Silent Death Coach, a silent phantom vehicle whose appearance on Irish roads signals impending doom.The conversation further explores "second sight," the inherited ability to perceive future events, and the subtle signs that warn of approaching death. You'll also learn about "piseoga" (everyday Irish superstitions) and the pervasive belief in the "evil eye." This ancient concept explains how envy and intense attention can "jinx" or cause misfortune to livestock, children, and prosperity. The episode concludes with a transition into the darker side of the paranormal, featuring a terrifying account from parapsychologist and demonologist Bill Slevin about a rite of exorcism and demonic encounters. Whether you're interested in true paranormal stories, ghostly encounters, or the rich history of Irish folklore, this episode offers a compelling look at how the land remembers its oldest stories.For information about Bill Slevin, visit his website: https://billslevin.com/investigator/For information about David Sloan, visit his website: https://www.ghostkeywest.com/david-l-sloanDo you have a spooky story that you’d like included in the You Two Scare Me Podcast? Check out our website at: www.youtwoscaremepodcast.com and go fill out the “Somebody Told Me…” form.
