He rides at night. His head glows. And if he knocks on your door, someone inside may not survive the night…
In this episode of Cryptid Hunter from Hypothetically Sound, Alek and Randy dive into the terrifying legend of the Dullahan—Ireland’s original Headless Horseman. Known for riding a black horse, wielding a whip made of human spine, and carrying his grinning head under one arm, the Dullahan is more than a spooky myth—he’s a death omen with serious power.
We explore:
-
His creepy origins in Irish mythology
-
How he's been misunderstood (he's not just the guy from Sleepy Hollow)
-
What gold has to do with staying alive
-
Pop culture appearances and folklore connections
-
And what happens if he says your name 😳
Plus, we feature a real paranormal “What Did I Just See?” story involving a mysterious spirit and a near-death experience in Yellowstone.
