Ireland has always kept its dead close. The Great Book of Irish Ghosts is a powerful journey through the haunted traditions of Ireland, from banshee cries and fairy forts to phantom coaches, death roads, famine ghosts, cursed houses, castle apparitions, coastal spirits, and the restless dead who return to the living. Drawing on Irish folklore, witness accounts, historic collections, local tradition, and the eerie landscapes of Ireland itself, this book explores the supernatural beliefs that shaped generations.
Inside you will discover: The banshee and the families she was said to follow Irish death omens, corpse lights, fetches, and second sight Haunted castles, big houses, monasteries, roads, and ruins Fairy forts and the dangers of disturbing the old places Famine ghosts and the memory of Ireland's dead Phantom coaches, death roads, and crossroads spirits Coastal hauntings, drowned sailors, and island apparitions Some of the most chilling Irish witness accounts ever recorded This is not just a book of ghost stories.
It is a journey into the Irish imagination, where folklore, grief, history, religion, landscape, and memory meet. For readers of Irish folklore, Celtic mythology, haunted history, ghost lore, paranormal tradition, and the dark beauty of Ireland's supernatural past, The Great Book of Irish Ghosts is a haunting and unforgettable collection. The dead were never entirely gone. In Ireland, the door was never a wall.
It was always a door.
