Ghosts
 A
Ghost Watcher's Guide to Ireland
Irish Ghosts. The ghosts of Ireland are an integral part of
the country's tradition and atmosphere. Stories are told of
their presence in the old houses of Dublin as well as in the
rambling, grandiose mansions. This guide contains 47 tales of
such ghosts, ranging in time from the Middle Ages to the twentieth
century. Be intrigued by the banshee and the headless coachman,
or phantom dogs and fearsome black cats. Picture shadowy figures
going about their unfinished business, flitting along dim corridors.
Imagine the strange death warnings, the culmination of a sound
that resembles the wind, yet has the tone of a human voice.
These are the ghosts of Ireland. The book is fully illustrated
with the hauntingly beautiful photographs of world-renowned
photographer Simon Marsden.
 Irish
Ghost Stories
Irish Ghosts. Unexplained psychic phenomena fascinate people
from all walks of life. However, many are afraid, ashamed and
embarrassed to come forward for fear of not being taken seriously.
Of course, we can't prove that ghosts exist or don't exist.
We are in a different realm of consciousness when we talk about
ghosts. But however strange or unusual the feelings that people
experience, the experiences themselves are none the less real.
Celebrated people have had strange experiences. This book includes
those of the actor Micheal MacLiammoir and of playwright and
author Hugh Leonard, Jack Keyes Byrne. The Lord of the Dance,
Michael Flatley, has acknowledged the presence of a ghost named
Isabella in his Castlehyde home near Fermoy, County Cork. Oliver
St John Gogarty also believed in ghosts. There are many well-known
Irish ghost stories and Padraic O'Farrell tells some of them
in this book. He has, however, leaned heavily on the side of
lesser-known tales; most of them previously unpublished.
