Fairy Resurrectionism in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
Manage episode 348537970 series 2987312
Chris and Simon discuss fairy food, ‘hungry ghosts’, and a little-known case of Mary Doheny, a ‘fairy resurrectionist’ in 19th century Ireland, who claimed to be able to bring the dead back to life. Transcripts from the Doheny’s trial for fraud illuminate contemporary Irish beliefs about the dead and the world of the Good People. Witnesses swore that they saw their dead loved ones in the flesh, but how did Mary do it? A booklet accompanies the podcast: The Fairy Witch of Carrick-on-Suir: A Source Book for a Nineteenth-Century Resurrectionist
