In this episode, we explore the rituals, folklore and beliefs surrounding banishing and protecting yourself from negative spirits. M shares her own daily protection routine and the story of having our home spiritually cleansed, while we uncover witch bottles, salt circles, protective charms and the darker reality of exorcisms.

We also hear a chilling listener story about a Ouija board followed by a terrifying run of bad luck—all while sipping the powerful but surprisingly smooth Maker’s Mark 101 bourbon.

We’re taking a little two-week holiday break, so there’ll be no new episode for the next two weeks. We’ll see you all again on 13 September—rested, recharged and ready for more spirits! 👻

This week we pour a glass of Maple Mayhem from Blacks Whiskey Distillery in Kinsale and dive into physical touches from beyond — the ones you feel when nobody's there. From the Bell Witch's slaps and pinches to the Enfield Poltergeist's invisible grip, we trace the line between the terrifying and the tender: hair strokes, hand squeezes, and the comforting "crisis touches" reported by the grieving. Plus a detour into sleep paralysis, phantom limb sensations, and Ireland's tradition of touching the corpse at a wake.

This week we are talking ghostly passengers — the ones who shouldn't be in the car, the taxi, or the plane seat next to you. M shares a personal story from 20+ years ago about a figure she saw riding shotgun in her sister's car, then it's on to Chicago's Resurrection Mary, a Japanese taxi ghost story, Eastern Airlines Flight 401's infamous hauntings, the post-Fukushima taxi passengers, the real-life "ghost crash" on the A3, and the Irish legend of the Dullahan and his death coach.

Tonight's pour: Wild Turkey Rare Breed (barrel proof, 58.4%).

This week on Between Spirits Podcast, we pour a pint of Birra Moretti for a change, and dive into omens of death — the Gormanstown foxes that gathered outside a dying viscount's window, deathbed visions and the psychopomps said to guide the dying home, shared death experiences reported by whole families at once, and the corpse candle: a ghostly light said to trace a funeral's route days or weeks before anyone dies. Plus personal stories of premonitions, a robin at the window, and a certain unexplained ball of light.

This week we sip Roaming Road's 10-year-old single barrel bourbon (55.9% cask strength, finished in Irish whiskey casks) while diving into signs from loved ones who've passed, through animals: butterflies at gravesides, crows tapping on windows, a cat that mysteriously commuted between two houses, robins, dragonflies, hummingbirds, and even deer showing up at a funeral. Personal stories, a listener email, and a debate on whether it's real connection or just our minds seeking comfort.

Ep16: The Fetch — In this episode, we go Irish and sip Green Spot Irish whiskey while diving into the fetch, an Irish folklore figure said to be a person's supernatural double, sometimes an omen of death. We swap chilling stories including "The Doctor's Fetch," a Galway farmer's deadly encounter, a priest who unknowingly saw a dead parishioner walking his village, a modern train sighting that may have saved a man's life, and the historical account of the Earl of Roscommon sensing his father's death from afar.

This week we pour a Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea bourbon and dive into Stone Tape Theory — the idea that stone and buildings can "record" traumatic events and replay them as residual hauntings. We cover the famous Roman soldiers of the Treasurer's House in York, the phantom battle echoes of Gettysburg, the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, and the ghostly re-enactment at Edge Hill, plus a listener email describing a spectral funeral procession outside an English church. Spirits, sipping, and centuries-old replays.

M shares a decades-old family mystery — a phantom ticking clock that followed her parents (and previously her grandparents) from room to room, refused to be found, and once roared like a jet engine when her dad lost his temper with it. Q pours the rare Willett Pot Still Bourbon and digs into the Willett family's distilling history. Plus, listener stories: a ticking clock and stopped watch that arrived at the exact moment of a mother's passing, and a case from the Society for Psychical Research linking a ticking sound to an apparition.
