I chat to Darragh Mason, author, researcher and host of Spirit Box Podcast, about his new book Song of the Dark Man.
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 be sure to check out Spirit Box Podcast on YouTube where, through his interviews with a fine array of incredible guests, Darragh explores folklore, esoterica and the mysteries of spirit world: https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritBox

Darragh also has a Spirit Box Podcast Patreon group which I am in too. It’s a brilliant community of people, sharing and supporting one another. Always something interesting happening. I highly recommend it as a community with a great bunch of folks 💚
