The Dullahan-Headless Horseman Dusk settles across the land In the month of October, locals living in Ireland’s secluded rural areas make haste to be home before evening time fades to dark. For it is at this time that the deadly Dullahan stalks the land. Dullahan is an old Gaelic word, the nearest translation would be “Darkman”. The Dullahan is a foreteller of death, much like the Banshee. He is a headless rider, carrying his own, hysterically laughing head, beneath an arm. His mount is a massive, black stallion with flame-red eyes. He shrieks in the night, emptying buckets of blood over people as he tears by. When he stops his steed, he bellows one name into the night and this person is found dead come dawn. The Dullahan’s only weakness is an absurd fear of gold. So should you find yourself wandering home on a chilly October evening, be sure to have a piece of gold about your person, because who knows, tonight the Dullahan could ride for you! Wolfshadow
