Demonic visitation, untimely endings, regrets and remembrance, harbingers of death, and unfinished business are all believed to explain why spirits choose to walk the earth. Here, one will discover the ghost stories that are found throughout Ireland.
From the unexplained "tap, tap, tap" on a door at night to the mysterious falling of a picture from its place on the wall, traditional Irish death warnings are merely one aspect of the vast array of the country's legends of the supernatural.
There are countless other examples that leave much to be explained. "The Dean's Ghost," that of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels, has been seen in the long corridors and ancient rooms of St. Patrick's, the psychiatric hospital that he founded. "Glencairn's Girl in White" appeared at the foot of Colonel Buche's bed with a wound to her chest. Buche, determined to find the secret of her hauntings, discovered a small wooden box in his attic with a note claiming it contained the heart of a young girl. It was her wish for it to buried there at Glencairn. And there inside yet a smaller metal box was the embalmed heart wrapped in yellow silk.
Ireland's old mansions are no strangers to bloody histories such as these, and for a ghost to dwell within is no surprise. Take a look, if you dare, and realize that the footsteps you think you heard are not your imagination after all.
