In this gripping episode, listeners are transported to the mystical Island of Arran, off the West Coast of Ireland, where a tale of family, betrayal, and supernatural occurrences unfolds. The story centers around the Donald family, particularly the contrasting fates of two brothers, Thomas and Paddy. As Thomas prepares for his wedding, a dark secret emerges, leading to a tragic turn of events. The island's eerie legend of a submerged cathedral and its ominous bells plays a crucial role in revealing the truth and delivering justice from beyond the grave.
Amidst the backdrop of a stormy sea and a community steeped in tradition, the narrative explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the power of the supernatural. The haunting sound of the underwater cathedral's bells serves as a chilling reminder of the island's ancient curse, ultimately guiding the lost and the guilty to their fates. This episode is a masterful blend of suspense and folklore, leaving listeners pondering the thin line between myth and reality.

[00:01:21] Unknown:
Okay, Donald. Would you mind telling me why your face just went dark like a cloud going over? Oh, there's nothing, good father. Just Tabby you're thinking of.
[00:01:32] Unknown:
Oh, it don't issue. Sometimes I don't understand the ways of the good Lord. What does you say? Thomas and Teddy, both of them burnt in the same cold winter's night, both of them the same flesh and blood out of me, and yet Thomas is good as an angel in paradise. And carried evil from the moment he took his first breath of God's good air. Okay. Okay. Don't talk like that. It's true, father. It's true. The minute he was in my arms and I saw he hadn't have bucked his breath of fear on him, I thought to myself, Katie Donald, it's the devil's own brother you've got for a son. Katie.
Katie. Ah, you know it's true, father. Paddy that breaks, drinking and broiling and running from work as if the devil himself would pull him away. Yeah. I know.
[00:02:19] Unknown:
And with each year, he goes work stealing, but he'll cook a tongue down path away from you. No. No. No. No. No more of that, sir. Your son, Thomas, has repaid you for all your trouble. A good boy. And now the prettiest girl in all the black gets waiting to be his bride as soon as it suddenly stops there.
[00:02:36] Unknown:
Oh. A traumatized bride. Well, now and what are the two of you holding secret pieces about? We've been talking about the prettiest girl in the islands. You mean she's the prettiest girl in all the world. And mother? I'm so happy for you my son. I know my darling. She is getting so late. Well, I think I'll go out and listen to the pigeons. See you and the son, miss Captain Thomas. Yes. For the sooner the better father. It's an impatient man I am. The good father. Married breast with his tongue is a marriage that My mother's.
[00:03:08] Unknown:
What is this? You know the answer.
[00:03:10] Unknown:
Teddy.
[00:03:11] Unknown:
Aye.
[00:03:12] Unknown:
He'll get them a wedding.
[00:03:14] Unknown:
Okay. And he won't. No. Now, mother. Don't say things like that. Yeah. That's all in my heart. Drink him and brawling and stand up. Patty, you did come.
[00:03:25] Unknown:
Why couldn't that be you? Is it only strange you're welcome at your wedding? Oh, now Patty, that's not the way to talk. There's food and drink in this house today for every man and a double heaven for you and your nose. Oh, he's there. Listen to me, brother Thomas. If you have that fool of widdens, then it can't give you a chance of making us all richer than a Yankee. So what do you mean? Speak up, Harry. What do you mean I have to know? Never meant nothing. It's ironic money I'm talking of. May the next pipe in tobacco be at my own waste for I'm not telling you the truth. Well, listen. Do you remember that hulk of a ship that was wrecked off Inishna Bro a bit ago? Well. I went there yesterday to see if there was anything worth having. And listen to me, brother.
There in the bottom of a pool, nor deeper than this room, is lying enough boats of copper and brass to make you me the richest man in the army. Don't listen to him Thomas. It's the giant inside of him coughing. Name an extra drink. Lift me like a salmon if I got to drop in here. I'll tell you it's true every word. Oh, shoot. Wait a minute, mother. Where did you say this Spartan was lying, Pedest? In eight piece of water. Right off the place where he caught that seal last year. There's more than 500 pieces of copper and brass there and there was a pound apiece as sure as I'm standing here.
Well, haven't you got a word to say to me? Yeah. It's a long while, Teddy, my son. And you brought back anything worthwhile to this house. Well, I've done it now. No mistake. I don't stand it like a lamp, Thomas. Just a bow at all. I tell you there's a fortune waiting. But, Teddy, no hidden. You talk like you're cray. Wouldn't you rather bring the bride a pocketful filled with gold taverns than the empty letter you got now? Wouldn't you rather be able to give her a a bit of meat in the house and a little dress with a prisoner's o'ers and the empty words and how it goes. But, Patty, I can't. Your mother, you talk to the man. A king's fortune right under his hand, and a cracked fool won't bend over to pick it up. But if it's in the sea, Patty, it'll weigh it until after the weapon. Away it, will it. And will I have finished both sailing all around the place?
I hear it now, never, and my soul to the devil if I'm not saying two words. Come on, darling.

[00:10:29] Unknown:
None, Katie. We've been burning piles on top of the cliff all through the night, but there is not to be seen but the tempest in the smother way. Oh, my son. My son. And a little cry. Were you sleeping at last?
[00:10:44] Unknown:
Oh, what have I done? This misfortune. What did you do? Come on. Oh, blessed Mary. They're coming. I'm keep going in my eyes with a drum and chat again. Did you see them both? Both, my son. No. I I can't quite. Just a ball from the it can look and clouds in the top of the wind so fetching I can't. Arina, what do you mean wrong? There's only one ball. Alright.
[00:13:25] Unknown:

[00:13:34] Unknown:
anytime I got a right to live. Tell me tell me quick. Where did my control miss Pandit Patty? Where is my phone? How do you think he is, woman,
[00:13:42] Unknown:
dead at the bottom of the sea? Stand close to the balcony, good neighbor. Let her be quiet now, no weeping, until the services for our dear departed are over. It is right that we should stand here on the cliff to say the last word for the soul of the one whom the sea has taken to the Lord. Back in the great cities of men, where few which have been, there are great cathedrals that have reached to the sky. If there was such a cathedral here in the island, we would pray for Thomas Donnelly. But this bare ground is our cathedral.
For it is spoken in truth, as you know, that once on this place there rose a mighty church of God, built by the hands of a strange race of men that lived on these islands before our fathers and their father's fathers. A mighty. And one night these people committed a horrible sin and a sea rose high as this cliff and covered the church and drew it down into the sea. You know the legend, Wells. There is a cathedral under the sea at the base of this place where we stand. And if of the base wrong is to be done on these islands, shells under the water ring and ring, until men can observe the sound of it, and the very heavens tremble with the glory of God and the glory of righteous.
So I say that if there was a wrong done on the sea to Thomas Donnell, I know in my heart that the bells would have rung, and yet they are silent. So we know that Thomas Donald died in righteousness. And now the time has come to take this wreath of sweet smelling fern and throw it to the water through our Thomas Donald's tree. Goodbye to you, Thomas Donald. The Lord in his wisdom has buried you in the boundless grave of the ocean. We have the memory of you. The sea has your body and the Lord your soul. Blessed are they that mourn for you, for they shall be comforted.
I bet she's young, and young tears go quickly. Eileen. Go. Why must you weep all the day?
[00:17:56] Unknown:
Oh, go. Go away. That's a dump.
[00:18:10] Unknown:
I'm thinking of it. K? I lingers.
[00:18:14] Unknown:
I've no feelings for talk. Patty Dunks.
[00:18:23] Unknown:

[00:18:49] Unknown:

[00:18:56] Unknown:

[00:18:59] Unknown:

I so lonely must sometimes I choose. Oh, mother's daughter. Don't make it hard for me. All these all these weeks, there's no wedding for him in this movie. Stop saying. He wanted me to be with Pat. It is. It is. I don't know what to do. I don't. I don't. We're waiting.

No. I I can't quite. Just a ball from the it can look and clouds in the top of the wind so fetching I can't. Arina, what do you mean wrong? There's only one ball. Alright.

anytime I got a right to live. Tell me tell me quick. Where did my control miss Pandit Patty? Where is my phone? How do you think he is, woman,
[00:13:42] Unknown:
dead at the bottom of the sea? Stand close to the balcony, good neighbor. Let her be quiet now, no weeping, until the services for our dear departed are over. It is right that we should stand here on the cliff to say the last word for the soul of the one whom the sea has taken to the Lord. Back in the great cities of men, where few which have been, there are great cathedrals that have reached to the sky. If there was such a cathedral here in the island, we would pray for Thomas Donnelly. But this bare ground is our cathedral.
For it is spoken in truth, as you know, that once on this place there rose a mighty church of God, built by the hands of a strange race of men that lived on these islands before our fathers and their father's fathers. A mighty. And one night these people committed a horrible sin and a sea rose high as this cliff and covered the church and drew it down into the sea. You know the legend, Wells. There is a cathedral under the sea at the base of this place where we stand. And if of the base wrong is to be done on these islands, shells under the water ring and ring, until men can observe the sound of it, and the very heavens tremble with the glory of God and the glory of righteous.
So I say that if there was a wrong done on the sea to Thomas Donnell, I know in my heart that the bells would have rung, and yet they are silent. So we know that Thomas Donald died in righteousness. And now the time has come to take this wreath of sweet smelling fern and throw it to the water through our Thomas Donald's tree. Goodbye to you, Thomas Donald. The Lord in his wisdom has buried you in the boundless grave of the ocean. We have the memory of you. The sea has your body and the Lord your soul. Blessed are they that mourn for you, for they shall be comforted.
