The Wicked Woman weaves folklore and history from early twentieth century Ireland with legends and history of the later medieval period to create a ghost story that blends prose with a poetic sensibility. It was written as a reply to a series of anecdotes about a malevolent female apparition that feature in the publication “Gort Broc: The Evil ones and other Tales from Beara,” edited by Martin Verling; translated from Irish by U Ó Dálaigh. Letham R. McPaike decided to create a story in which the ghost of the wicked woman tells her story. 

Letham R. McPaike is the writing pseudonym of Rab Fulton. “Letham” is from Rab’s Scottish family heritage; “McPaike” from Rab’s Irish family heritage. The “R.” simply stands for Rab. The pseudonym honours Rab’s Scottish and Irish ancestors.

Rab Fulton writes poetry, prose, plays and podcast scripts as well as working as a storyteller. He tells Irish and Scottish tales at the weekly Celtic Tales show in the Crane Bar, Galway. Rab also tells stories and reads prose and poetry at local festivals and events in the west of Ireland, as well as local schools, libraries, and Galway City Museum. He teaches the craft of storytelling in the School of Education at the University of Galway. He also co-hosts, with Kerry Graham, the podcast The Celtic Tales Chronicles. In 2025, Rab performed and ran workshops for The Living Legends project that brought together teenagers from Limerick and Belfast to creatively engage with folklore, landscapes and stories through art, writing, and performance.

This is a free event, and all are welcome but booking is highly recommended.
