I chat to Darragh Mason, author, researcher and host of Spirit Box Podcast, about his new book, 'Song of the Dark Man'.
https://amzn.eu/d/eR0j3x9
Our discussion begins with an overview of what, rather than who, 'The Dark Man' is. We then move onto the folklore and finally go over some of the first hand encounters which make up the second half of Darragh's book.
It's genuinely a fantastic read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.
I also found that it brought a deeper understanding to the encounters that we've heard here on Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast, where our guests have crossed paths with aspects of 'The Dark Man'.
So, if you haven't got your hands on a copy of 'Song of the Dark Man' yet, then tarry not...you need this book in your life 🖤
And check out S P I R I T B O X P O D C A S T where, through his interviews with a fine array of incredible guests, Darragh explores folklore, esoterica and the mysteries of spirit world:
