Ep 240: Irish Ghosts

Raise your glass of Guinness, shot of Jameson, or Harp/Killian's/Smithwick's/Kilkenny/etc. and toast to Season 9 of Blurry Photos with an episode of Irish ghosts! There's no shortage of hair-raising tales of Irish ghosts from the Emerald Isle, and Flora tells four of 'em while enjoying a nice drink in this episode. Three poltergeists and a wandering phantom are included in the season opener. And you even get a bonus poem to boot! Hear tell of Petticoat Loose, Corney the poltergeist, a haunted abode in Enniscorthy, and a terrifying old house in Cooneen. Shine up your shoe buckles, wipe down those pint glasses, and light an extra candle, this Slurry Photos will shamrock your socks off!
