This week Carrie goes it alone, as Laura is on vacation, and we all quickly find stepping into Laura's polished and perfect shoes is no easy feat. So...

Come with us to Spike Island in Ireland! For 1300 years the island was used as a monastery, military fort, housing, and a prison on four separate occasions. None of those prison set ups went well. Had they, we wouldn't be talking about it.

Join Carrie as she tells us of the consistent reports of a British Soldier who is frequently shot at, a hooded black entity that terrified inmates for decades, and she shares compelling photos taken by visitors to the site that is now a popular tourist attraction!
