About this episode

This episode explores eerie Irish legends and the chilling disappearances of women in the Vanishing Triangle.

A haunted Irish hillside. A ghost with a story that refuses to stay buried. And a stretch of Ireland where women seemed to vanish into thin air. This week we start with the eerie legend of Petticoat Loose, where folklore, fear, and a tragic past still cling to the landscape like fog rolling over the hills. Then we step into something far darker. The Vanishing Triangle, a chilling cluster of disappearances that left families searching, investigators scrambling, and a nation asking one question that still hangs in the air. Coincidence? Cover ups? Something more sinister? Pour the champagne. Things are about to get strange. 🥂 Duchas.ie – The National Folklore Collection (Schools’ Collection and manuscript archives) https://www.duchas.ie The National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin https://www.ucd.ie/folklore/en/ The Placenames Database of Ireland (logainm.ie) https://www.logainm.ie Clare County Library – Folklore & Local Studies Archivehttps://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/folklore/folklore.htm Loop Head Tourism & Local History Resourceshttps://www.loophead.ie Penal Laws historical overview – Library Ireland…
