True Irish Ghost Stories: Haunted Houses, Banshees, Poltergeists and Other Supernatural Phenomena

Poltergesits and banshees, spirit-filled houses, and deathbed scenes pervaded by spectres fill this enchanting treasury of tales based on supernatural phenomena. Compiled from Ireland's abundant reserve of ghost stories, this richly varied collection of legendary and ancestral phantasms, uncanny forewarnings of death, and a host of other unearthly experiences relies on the memories of ordinary Irish folk scattered throughout the isle.

The collection of entertaining tales was the offspring of a newspaper article in which the authors St. John D. Seymour, a Church of England priest, and his colleague, Harry L. Neligan, asked contributors to send in their favourite chost stories, which many happily did. Classified by geographical area, the simple yet compelling narratives - at once disarming, convincing, and illuminating - provide spellbinding descriptions of paranormal experiences. An entertaining, authentic glimpse of late nineteenths and early twentieth-century Ireland and the superstitious nature of is people, True Irish Ghost Stories is a delightful treasury of other-worldly happenings - to be shared by devotees of Irish lore, mystery lovers, and connoisseurs of the paranormal.
