Ghosts of Dublin

A Collection of Irish Hauntings

The rebels, the royals, and the restless dead of Ireland's capital.

Dublin is a city of stunning contrasts. Behind the pristine Georgian doors and the bustling, modern pub districts lies a dark, turbulent, and blood-soaked history. This is a city forged by brutal colonial rule, devastating poverty, body snatchers, and fierce, fiery rebellions. And down the narrow, fog-drenched cobblestone alleyways, the ghosts of the capital refuse to be forgotten.

In Ghosts of Dublin, you will step off the tourist trail and into the terrifying supernatural shadows of Ireland’s most haunted city. This chilling collection documents the terrifying "stone tape" echoes, tragic famine spirits, and aggressive poltergeists reported by modern locals, museum curators, and terrified late-night security guards.

Walk the dark streets and discover:

  • Kilmainham Gaol: The imposing Victorian prison where the heavy, phantom footsteps of unseen wardens still echo down the freezing corridors.
  • The Hellfire Club: The ruined mountain lodge where occult rituals summoned an aggressive, terrifying entity that still stalks urban explorers in the pitch black.
  • St. Michan’s Church: The subterranean limestone crypts where tourists report the sensation of cold, skeletal fingers stroking their necks.
  • The General Post Office (GPO): The epicenter of the 1916 Rising, where night workers still smell burning cordite and hear the phantom crack of rebel rifles.

Perfect for fans of Irish history, dark tourism, and true paranormal encounters, this book pulls back the veil on a city where history refuses to stay in the past.
