Thanks to Hollywood movies, creepy written fiction novels and DC Comics, everyone has heard of the infamous Banshee by now! The word conjures up images of an evil old woman, flying through the air, screeching her lungs out with blood-red eyes and a ghastly expression on her skeletal face!
Well in today's podcast episode Karen will be breaking down the differences between the classic Irish banshee and her Scottish, lesser-known but no less interesting cousins: the Bean Nighe and the Caoineag (or Caointeach). Pour yourself a dram of whisky and getting ready to bust a gut because we are covering a HUGE range of Scottish topics today from spooky death omens to some of the most random and hilarious fae creature details you've ever heard!!

Episode 6 of the Podcast: CHANGELINGS: What did it REALLY mean for Fairies and for Humans??4/15/2021
Today's 6th Episode of the 1Scot1Not podcast discusses Changelings. What is a Changeling? It is a fairy that has been switched with a living human who has been stolen by the fairies!! Aaaaaah!!! It turns out there were many reasons the fairies wanted to abduct a perfectly healthy human baby or young mother and replace it with one of their own and you'll be so surprised when you find out why! In this episode, Lucy explains the horrifying, heartbreaking and sometimes even hilarious meanings behind both the fairy AND human side of so many infamous Changeling stories...
