This episode features another unique and very rare story from Ireland, a land globally known for its folktales, myths, legends, and fairytales. Many a time we hear and narrate stories about sweet and giving fairies. But rarely do we hear stories about mischievous and deceptive faeries. The difference lies not only in the spelling (fairy and faery) or pronunciation but also in the behavior of these mythical characters. In this story, we step into the world of the faeries and know them a little more!!

This episode was recorded around the spookiest time of the year. With Halloween around the corner, it seemed to be the perfect time to look back into the history of Halloween and how it all started. Traditions, myths, and so many stories have time-traveled and still continue to be part of our lives in the form of popular customs. In this episode, rather than looking into a single folktale, Ohh Folk!! digs deep into some of the timeless traditions of Halloween. And did you know how ‘trick-or-treating’ became part of Halloween? We unravel that as well. Enjoy this ride down the spooky lane.
