Ep 112

The Fetch of Irish and British Folklore | True Paranormal Stories

Episode | 35 min | Jan 27, 2025

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the spooky folklore surrounding the Fetch, a spectral double said to be an omen of death in Irish mythology.


We’ll explore some historical tales of people encountering their own fetch or the fetch of someone close to them, and what these encounters might signify. Are they warnings from another realm, or simply tricks of the mind?


Is it just folklore passed down through generations, or could there be more to these haunting apparitions than meets the eye?
