Show Notes
In episode two of The Other Ireland podcast we hear from childhood friends Conor and Tom from Dublin.
In 2010, when the lads were 16, Tom's mother brought them on a summer trip to Arklow in County Wicklow. It was the summer before they were due to finish their last year in school.
A few nights into their stay, in a holiday rental, they both experienced something supernatural. The experiences they describe are eerily similar.
Thank you to Conor and Tom for sharing their story.
