Ghosts of Irish Pubs and Inns

Pull up a stool. Just don't ask who you're sitting next to.

For centuries, the traditional Irish pub has been the beating heart of the community. They are places of warmth, music, and storytelling. But they are also the places where bloody rebellions were plotted, where smugglers hid from the law, where the famine-stricken sought their last refuge, and where centuries of history soaked into the very floorboards.

And in some of Ireland’s oldest taverns, the regulars simply refuse to leave at closing time.

In Ghosts of Irish Pubs and Inns, you will step out of the cold and into 30 of the most intensely haunted drinking establishments on the Emerald Isle. This chilling collection documents the terrifying "stone tape" echoes, aggressive cellar poltergeists, and tragic historical spirits reported by modern publicans, terrified bar staff, and unsuspecting tourists.

Order a pint and discover:

• The Brazen Head: Ireland's oldest pub, where the phantom figure of rebel leader Robert Emmet still watches the door for his enemies.
• Kavanagh's (The Gravediggers): Where the ghost of an elderly man in a tweed suit drinks a spectral pint of stout in absolute silence before fading into thin air.
• The Crown Liquor Saloon: The stunning Victorian bar haunted by a murdered 19th-century sex worker who leaves the sudden scent of cheap violet perfume in the private snugs.
• The Crosskeys Inn: The 17th-century thatched pub where sleeping guests are awoken by the phantom sound of a galloping horse and heavy boots charging up the stairs.

Perfect for fans of Irish culture, dark tourism, and true paranormal encounters, this book pulls back the curtain on the unseen patrons of Ireland’s most historic pubs.

Sláinte. Drink up before the lights go out.
