You Won’t Believe What’s in Your Red Bag!
The “Red Bag” – an iconic symbol of mystery and intrigue – has been around for decades. But it’s not just a bag of random items – there’s a captivating story behind its origins
The legend is that the red bag dates back to 1749 – a traumatic event in which a giant sea cucumber-like monster – known as the Old Man of Dublin – took 300 followers to their deaths. While the story is a folk tale, the Red Bag’s origins are forever etched in the minds of many.
The Red Bag’s origins are not entirely public. The tale is just a legend – a well-known story that makes for a good story that’s not for others. The Red Bag of Dublin’s origins isn’t so much real. The Red Bag myth has a lot of fun to tell – but where does the real Red Bag story end?
**The Red Hill Hotel – where the famous Red Bag story is centered – is a fictional entity. The hotel’s name – which is forever associated with the Red Hill – is a fictional device of the 18th century. The "Red Hill" – based on a real-world event – is a conspiracy theory that’s made up of the Red Bag’s origin. Of course, this is much more of a legend – a story to tell instead of a factual event like the Old Man of Dublin.
With a history of the Red Bag’s origin only being a legend – does not mean that the true story is a lie or a conspiracy? The Red Hill Hotel’s story – a fictional business – is a story within a story – not true – and not a myth.
