High Seas Slaughter (Part One)

High Seas Slaughter (Part One)

Author: theceltictaleschronicles April 8, 2024 Duration: 32:26
Over the next two episodes Rab and Kerry will be taking a look at a horrific mass murder that took place on the Mary Russell, an Irish cargo ship, in 1828.

Gather round, because Kerry Graham and Rab Fulton have stories to tell. The Celtic Tales Chronicles Podcast springs from the live, world-famous Celtic Tales storytelling nights, bringing that same crackling energy and dark humor directly to your ears. Each episode is a journey along Ireland’s rugged Wild Atlantic Coastline, but you won’t just hear about the scenery. Instead, you’ll be pulled into a hidden world of lore where history and legend violently collide. The tales you’ll encounter here are as unpredictable as the western weather-one moment you’re laughing at a host’s wry aside, the next you’re gripped by a account of spectral pirates or a lonely island with a deadly secret. This isn’t a dry history lesson; it’s a living collection of the strange, the tragic, and the absurd, all rooted in a specific, windswept place. Expect encounters with everything from ancient portals and bewildering extraterrestrial sightings to figures from a darker colonial past, all delivered with the hosts’ signature blend of enthusiasm and sly comedy. The result is a uniquely immersive podcast that feels like sitting in a pub with the best storytellers you’ve ever met. Whether you’re planning a trip to the wild west of Ireland or just love a brilliantly told yarn from the comfort of your home, these chronicles offer a side of the country the guidebooks never dare to mention.
