Haunted Houses in or Near Dublin

Drawn from first-hand testimony, newspaper reports, and parish memory, these are the documented hauntings that shadow the Irish capital and its surrounding country, gathered by a scrupulous clergyman-scholar.

Collected by the Reverend St John D. Seymour, whose True Irish Ghost Stories (1914) remains a cornerstone of the Irish supernatural record, this volume assembles the accounts tied to Dublin and its neighbouring districts. Seymour approached each case as a careful antiquary rather than a sensationalist, weighing the reliability of witnesses drawn from the clergy, the gentry, the military, and ordinary households. The result is a sober yet unsettling survey of the spectral life of one Irish region.

This edition features:

• Case-by-case reports of apparitions, unexplained sounds, and disturbed dwellings across Dublin city and county • Testimony preserved from named witnesses including clergymen, soldiers, and members of respectable Irish families • Material drawn from Seymour and Neligan's landmark 1914 survey of authenticated Irish supernatural experience • A concise regional companion to the wider tradition of Irish ghostlore and popular belief
