Synopsis
A solitary figure moves through the misty, rugged landscapes of Kerry while seemingly pursued by a mysterious man dressed in black. The video's atmospheric imagery gives the song a dreamlike, folkloric quality, balancing open natural spaces with a persistent sense of unease. Rather than following a conventional narrative, "Apparitions" presents the pursuit as something half-remembered and supernatural, matching the track's wistful, haunting mood.
