Faerie Changelings and Abductions​
​
Leave your magic mushrooms at the door, Kitty is here to talk about the real Faeries: The Good People, The Wee Folk or the Sidhe.
​
Faerie of traditional Irish Faerie Folklore are old and clever, but can be terribly tricksy. They are all around us and watching, always watching.​

But what are they thinking? Are they impressed at how we raise our children, or think they could do it better? Should we fear them? ​

In this episode, Kitty bins the moral judgement and shares a true story of a Tipperary woman who was killed by her husband and father in an attempt to rid her body of a ‘Faerie Changeling’ and asks:
​
Were claims of ‘Faerie Changelings’ a form of mass hysteria?​
Did they mask a darker truth: murder?​
Or were they genuine cases of Faerie intervention in Human lives?​

We ponder the poem of a Human girl abducted by the Good People and as always, Kitty explains why it’s okay to believe in Faeries.​
