Episode 124: The Dullahan, The Good Woman, and The Death Coach

This month, I was inspired to give a more spooky episode for the podcast, something steeped in legend and folklore.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was written by Washington Irving, an American author that wrote the story detailing a Hessian soldier that was decapitated during a battle in the revolutionary war come back to life without his head. However, he isn't the first or only headless horseman in legend or myth. In Ireland and some other Celtic nations, there is another headless horseman that is commonly associated with The Dullahan.

Today's story comes to us from Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland by T. Crofton Crocker. It is the story of The Dullahan and the Headless Horseman. The full text is in the public domain and it is available on Project Gutenberg, as well as the full text of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.
