Happy !

It's almost Halloween - that time of year when the veil is thinnest and the ancestors draw a little closer - perhaps a bit TOO close! Where better to tell our favourite stories than in a haunted graveyard just as the sun begins to set?

Learn why this famous gravestone looks the way it does, hear stories of real-life encounters with the Banshee and learn about Rathfriland's Notorious Hell-Fire Club while enjoying some seriously eerie music too...

Settle down and join Gavin, Anne and special guest writer Arlene Copeland, for an hour-long Halloween Special IF YOU DARE!!!

Mwahahaha....
