Dullahan

In Irish mythology, the Dullahan is a sinister supernatural being who is the messenger of death. He is known to ride a black horse with eyes of fire, carrying its severed head in one hand. His head is described as spectral, with eyes that glow like lanterns, illuminating the darkness of the night.

When the Dullahan arrives at a location, he raises his head and proclaims the name of the person who is destined to die. The simple act of uttering that name is enough to bring a person to immediate death. It is said that all doors and windows open when the Dullahan announces his arrival, making it impossible to hide or escape his gaze.

The Dullahan does not like to be seen or watched while on the prowl, and those who do are punished with blindness in one eye. He also carries with him a whip made from a corpse's spine, which he uses to ward off any curious or nosy people who might cross his path.
