Luck O’ the Dead

Studio71
About this episode

 It's St. Patrick's day this week. A day that commemorates the Saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish luck that people feel because of the occasion. And while many of us count our blessings, and have moments of feeling lucky, there are those who seem absolutely cursed. Some people just can't catch a break, and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it just a coincidence? Or was something done to anger the spirits? Either way when death comes knocking, you better hope your luck hasn't run out. 


First, an unfortunate chain of events

Followed by a fatal mistake

Then, everything is dying

Finally in our featured story, death is calling
