The Walsh name in County Wexford is one of the most famous in Irish boxing. Dean Walsh's family history was steeped in boxing with his father and uncles winning countless Irish titles. His uncle Billy in particular was one of Wexford's greatest sportsmen, so it was no surprise that Dean joined a boxing club at only 7 years of age. Over the course of his incredible amateur career, he would win 13 Irish titles in total. Dean talks about the struggles he had trying to win a major medal after coming up short so many times at countless European championships at various levels. He would make the step up to elite level in 2014 when he would win his first title beating Michael Nevin in the final. He would then win back to back Irish finals against former European gold medalist, Ray Moylette in incredible finals. That illusive medal at a major championship would then come in 2015 when Dean would secure a European bronze medal in Bulgaria. Dean opens up about the huge disappointment of missing out on Olympic qualification in 2016 and how this sent him to a dark place mentally. Issues with alcohol and fights in bars would ultimately lead to a prison sentence in 2020 which would change his life forever. Dean came out and was determined to change his ways and get back into boxing. His father, Donal played a huge part in getting him back and his love and support even in the hard times was the catalyst he needed to continue. Incredibly after being out of the sport for over 3 years, he would win back to back Irish elite titles in 2023 and 2024. Once again Olympic qualification for Paris 2024 eluded him and professional boxing was the next step. Dean turned professional in late 2024 and has already won his first 2 fights and has an upcoming fight on DAZN in June. He talks about the great team he has at present and his ambitions for the future. Dean is hoping the Walsh name will continue to flourish in the professional ranks. Listen to his story today.

On the craggy coast of Wexford, Ireland stands a house with a reputation as grim as its weather. Once a manor of power and prestige, Loftus Hall is now remembered for something far stranger — a visit from a mysterious stranger, a terrified young woman, and a secret so dark it left an unfixable hole in the ceiling… and maybe even a body in the walls. This week, the Hosts dive headlong into one of Ireland's most infamous hauntings — where folklore, family shame, and the devil himself collide in a storm of spectral sightings and centuries-old scandal. From locked rooms and poltergeists to a priest's final showdown with something infernal, Loftus Hall remains a place where not even the dead rest easy. So grab your rosary, stoke the fire, and don't look too closely at what's sitting across the card table. Because at Loftus Hall — the Devil came calling… and someone let him in. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Devil Came To Loftus Hall! Music and Editing by Gage HurleyCheck out VaporVerse: https://www.youtube.com/@vaporversemusic(0:00) - “OnlyKin”(2:17) - Intro(5:23) - Episode Start(25:40) - Loftus Hall's Most Infamous Legend(32:44) - Night of the Devil's Reveal(01:36:15) - Hellfire Club(01:41:11) - Final Thoughts++++Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/creepstreetpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/creepstreetpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=shared TikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast#ParanormalPodcast #CryptidEncounters #ScaryStoryTime #TrueScaryStories #StayParanoid #MidnightShiftHorror #CreepStreetPodcast #ParanormalEncounters #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedMysteries #CreepyStories #AlienEncounters #UrbanLegends #WeirdButTrue#SupernaturalMysteries #ScaryPodcast #HorrorCommunity #HorrorPodcast #CreepyTales #SpookySeason #ExploreTheUnknown #MythAndMystery #ComedySketch #Comedy #ComedyShorts #HorrorComedy #WitchTok #ParanormalTikTok #WeirdHistory #CursedObjects #SpookySeason #GhostsAndGhouls #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight #IntoTheUnknown #OccultMysteries #ScreamingSkulls #HauntedSkulls #HauntedArtifacts #OccultFolklore #DarkFolklore #AncientCurses #CelticMythology  #SupernaturalLore #StayFreaky #LoftusHall #TheDevil #Devil #Satan #Lucifer
