Is the Headless Horseman part of Irish mythology? Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores this question by delving into Irish folklore about the Dullahan, a fearsome, headless rider often connected with death omens like the cóiste bodhar, or the Silent Death Coach. Discover the origins of the Dullahan, its role in ancient Irish tales, and how this terrifying figure differs from other similar myths, including Sleepy Hollow’s Headless Horseman. Learn what happens when a Dullahan speaks your name and the significance of crossing a river in escaping its wrath. Jon also shares personal supernatural experiences with death messengers and provides historical references from the Duchas folklore collection.

Whether you're curious about mythological creatures or keen to deepen your knowledge of Irish folklore, this video offers a fascinating dive into the dark lore of the Dullahan. For more information and free resources, visit the Irish Pagan School website.
