  • The Lady with the Ring
    2025/01/04

    European folklore is full of crossover. Stories with the same themes, heroes and villains told across the continent for centuries. Are they myth? Legends? Or do some have an aspect of historical credibility?

    The Lady with the Ring is one of these stories, told in Germany, Scandinavia and more, each with a slight change in detail. Each claiming to be the country of the tale's true origin. What if they're wrong? What if the real inspiration is actually from a small town called Lurgan in County Armagh more than 300 years ago?

  • Episode 3 – Hum’s the word
    2025/08/30

    Have you ever heard a sound and not quite known what it is? It can be irritating and even unsettling. Now, imagine a lot of people in the same town begin to hear that sound? A hum – one that certainly merits further investigation. Enter self-professed slacker and Omagh-native, Phil Taggart, to get to the bottom of it all. A hard-nosed investigative journalist he is not, but there is no better man to examine the characters and quirks of the county Tyrone town where the strange sounds have been emanating. Across three episodes, Phil meets shopkeepers, scientist, comedians, councillors and musicians, all with a view to uncovering the source of the hum. In the final episode, Phil meets Jamie Ryan who claims to know the exact source of the hum. Will it prove to be an open and shut case or yet another dead end? Phil presses the Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council on why they aren’t releasing more information about their findings in relation to the hum. He even tracks down the noise specialists the council engaged to locate the sound. Was it really driving some of the townsfolk to distraction? Finally, Phil comes to his own conclusions about this secretive, strange and surreal tale. So keep your ears peeled and your mind open as the investigation reaches its climax.

    Have you ever heard a sound and not quite known what it is? It can be irritating and even unsettling. Now, imagine a lot of people in the same town begin to hear that sound? A hum – one that certainly merits further investigation. Enter self-professed slacker and Omagh-native, Phil Taggart, to get to the bottom of it all. A hard-nosed investigative journalist he is not, but there is no better man to examine the characters and quirks of the county Tyrone town where the strange sounds have been emanating. Across three episodes, Phil meets shopkeepers, scientist, comedians, councillors and musicians, all with a view to uncovering the source of the hum. In Episode Two, things take a turn for the weird. The people of Omagh’s imagination runs wild as aliens, wind turbines and secret army activity are all cited as sources of the hum. Phil and his side-kick Muck, turn to man-of-science, Dr Glen MacPherson, for a more grounded answer but are literally left with a headache by what the World Hum expert has to tell them.
