Embark on a chilling journey into the shadowy realms with this collection of captivating Irish ghost stories, featuring first-hand tales of paranormal sightings.
Faithfully recorded from real newspaper accounts, interviews, and personal letters, St. John Seymour and Harry Neligan eagerly recount the eerie and enigmatic ghost-sightings of the Irish people. In these masterfully arranged pages, you will find stories of haunted houses, poltergeists, apparitions and other uncanny accounts, which promise to equally perturb and entice.
In 1904, St. John D. Seymour, born in Abington, Murroe, County Limerick, recognised a lack of books about Irish ghosts and researched and published True Irish Ghost Stories. The book contains ten chapters, four of which discuss haunted houses and places, and the remaining six detail and discuss such manifestations as poltergeists, banshees
and other death-warnings, and a variety of ghosts.
Seymour's True Irish Ghost Stories did much to establish and solidify
a body of scholarship connected with Irish history and folklore.
Though his accomplishments are pioneering, and others have
collected more and more widely, Seymour’s efforts are of enduring
value, and more, his works remain lively and eminently readable.
