Episode 3: A Flash in the Dark
The mystery deepens as a visit to Burtonport reveals strange goings-on at St Brides.
Ireland, 1984. St Brides School for young ladies opens its doors in the quiet fishing village of Burtonport, county Donegal - but all is not as it seems.
Conor travels to Burtonport to find out what locals remember about the Silver Sisterhood. He hears strange tales of women running through the street at midnight wearing clogs, reports of a βpadded roomβ - and the retired postmaster recalls a dispute involving another group who lived in the house before the Silver Sisterhood arrived - a cult known as βThe Screamersβ.
A local woman reveals why she had a unique reason to visit the house, an experience she has never forgotten β and Conor decides to make contact with the enigmatic former headmistress of St Brides, but she is known for being elusive. Will she respond?
