Haunted Houses in Mogh's Half - Ghost Stories from Northern Ireland

Documented, witnessed, and soberly set down, these are the reported hauntings of Ireland's northern districts, gathered by a scrupulous clergyman-scholar who weighed every account before committing it to the page.

The Reverend St John D. Seymour, co-author of the celebrated True Irish Ghost Stories (1914), drew his material from public appeals, private correspondence, and the personal testimony of clergy, gentry, and serving officers. Grouped under the ancient territorial name of Mogh's Half, these regional accounts range across manor houses, rectories, and lonely country roads where the dead were said to linger. Seymour weighs each report with the caution of an antiquary, offering not invention but a record of what people genuinely claimed to see.

This edition features:

• Reports of apparitions, unexplained sounds, and troubled dwellings gathered across the northern Irish provinces • Eyewitness testimony from clergymen, landed families, and military officers judged credible by the compiler • Material drawn from Seymour and Neligan's landmark 1914 survey of authenticated Irish supernatural experience • A regional companion within the broader tradition of Irish ghostlore, portents, and popular belief
