In this episode, we explore the stories of two Irish Americans very few people remember, but who in their day were quite famous.

And the other is Virginia Tighe, who in the late 1950s was also known as Bridey Murphy. This was due to a famous incident involving hypnosis and the specter of reincarnation.
