This Christmas, MoLI invites you to step into a world of eerie hauntings and restless spirits with A Visit from the Banshee, a chilling new collection of spectral stories, edited by Katie Mishler. To launch the collection actors Nuala Hayes and Demi Isaac Oviawe, and musician Seán Mac Erlaine will present four ghost stories hailing from the Traveller community, the Irish-Nigerian community, Irish folklore and Victorian literature in the depths of Dublin’s midwinter.
With the terrifying tales from Rosa Mulholland, Oein DeBhairduin, Melatu Uche Okorie and Peig Sayers (translated by Éilís Ní Dhuibhne), these stories explore the dark corners where life and death collide. Whether it’s a banshee’s wail or the ghost of a lost love, each story explores the haunting aftermath of betrayal, the ache of separation and the pain of unhealed wounds. Prepare to be drawn into a world where the supernatural confronts you at every turn.
Reception to follow.
