This bonus episode of Monstrous peels back the layers of green glitter to reveal the 1,600-year cold case at the heart of Saint Patrick’s Day.
From the teenage kidnapping of Maewyn Succat to the "Triple Death" of the Irish peat bogs, Carrie and MawMaw explore how a holiday of "parades and pints" began as a story of survival, radical transformation, and cultural erasure.
We’re diving into the psychological warfare of the early Church, the "skin-suiting" of ancient goddesses, and the curdled energy of the Dullahan.
We also track the Irish across the Atlantic—from the floating cemeteries of the Coffin Ships to the 1768 rebellion on the island of Montserrat. It’s a journey through vanishing lakes, headless gods, and the "Muted Green" aesthetic of 2026.
Grab your iron bell and join us as we uncover the monsters that history tried to bury.
