Terror Talks: Cryptid - An Unnatural History of Ireland's Unknown Animals

CALLING ALL CRYPTOZOOLOGISTS!
Join Alternative Ulstours' 'Master of the Macabre' Andrew Johnston for an illustrated Terror Talk on Ireland's 'cryptids' - animals disputed or unverified by mainstream science.
Andrew will hit the trail of legendary beasts including Muirdris, Muckie and the dreaded Dobhar-chú, as well as investigating strange encounters with ape-men, horse-men and phantom cats.
Elsewhere, cast back to the Victorians' fevered obsession with 'sea serpents', and confront the notion that dire wolves may inhabit the modern Irish countryside - beyond the set of Game of Thrones!
The talk will invoke Ireland's traditional beliefs and folklore, and offer alternative scientific explanations, remembering the island's extinct fauna.
So, come along to the iconic Sunflower Public House, buy a drink, pull up a seat and let Andrew take you into the unknown, where imagination roams free!
Doors open:
7.00pm
Running time:
2 hours including interval
