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
