Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast.

‘Tis the season for spooky folktales, and in this series, we will tell you more of our favourites.

In this episode, we take a look at one of the many and varied forms of the Púca, who can appear as a creature of the otherworld, a human, an animal, and much more besides. In this tale, the Púca seems to cry out against an injustice in Co. Donegal. But on further investigation, the crime was more complicated than it seemed, and its only real witness spoke from beyond the grave.
