XXI. Changelings

Join us as we delve deep into the dark and strange stories of ‘Changelings’. These eerie creatures have been told and retold for hundreds of years amongst the Irish people, still being discussed even today. These elusive beings are said to be swapped infants or creatures from the fairy realm who replace human children. We'll explore the origins of these enchanting stories and their significance in Irish folklore, as well as unearth the dark realities of the times when very real criminal acts have been committed due to the belief in these creatures. Support the show Support the show and join the team at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/urbanlegends⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at [email protected] or click below.
