The Thing That Was Not Spoken Of

Scéaleenies Season 1 Episode 2

In a coastal parish where the sea was never spoken of, old silences are beginning to fail.

A full reading of The Thing That Was Not Spoken Of, a literary folk-horror story rooted in the storytelling traditions of the West of Ireland. It follows a community shaped by implicit rules, a coastline without fishermen, and a place that remembers.

As times passage reopens what was deliberately left alone, the story examines silence as inheritance, place as participant, and the uneasy boundary between folklore and lived reality.

A quiet, unsettling piece about Ireland’s Wild Atlantic edge, best heard in one sitting, on headphones, and far away from the sea.
