About this episode

The episode explores the haunted history of the Convent of Mercy in County Cork with guest Rob Davies.

For episode 136, we’re heading to County Cork, where a foreboding building still stands—steeped in sorrow, secrecy, and whispered tales of the supernatural. A place shaped by faith, rigid discipline, and deep suffering. For generations, young girls passed through its doors. Many were mistreated, abused, and subjected to lives of fear and control—experiences so harrowing they’re difficult to fully comprehend. The walls of this convent witnessed pain, silence, and trauma… and some believe those experiences never truly left. And I won’t be venturing there alone. Joining me is Rob Davies from the Dead Air YouTube channel—a seasoned paranormal investigator whose work has taken him across the globe to some of the most unsettling locations imaginable. Together, we’ll explore one of the sites he’s investigated for his channel. We’ll delve into the dark and troubling history of the Convent of Mercy, examine the paranormal encounters reported within its walls, and hear Rob’s own experiences investigating this deeply unsettling place. So join us, as we begin this journey and ask the question, just how haunted is the Convent of Mercy? To find Rob's YouTube channel head to Dead Air - YouTube…
