S3 E36: The Irish Gate to Hell & The Birthplace of Halloween

THIS WEEK: Embark on a journey through the ancient heart of Ireland, where the past meets the supernatural in spine-chilling fashion! In a lesser-known part of the Emerald Isle lies a secluded field, home to peaceful sheep today. But rewind 2,000 years, and you'd bear witness to a scene straight out of a horror tale. Imagine livestock frozen in fear, held by costumed pagans, their chants echoing in the air, as they offered sacrifices to Celtic demons dwelling in the eerie Oweynagat cave. This enigmatic cave, known as the "cave of the cats" (pronounced “Oen-na-gat”), was revered by ancient Celts as a portal to an otherworld teeming with malevolent forces. It was here that the Samhain festival, the primordial essence of Halloween, took its first breath. Join us as we unmask the secrets of Oweynagat, delving deep into the roots of Halloween itself. This episode promises a chilling blend of history, folklore, and the supernatural that will leave you spellbound. So, press play and LET'S GET SPOOKY!
