Irish Ghosts and Restless Spirits Irish Ghosts and tales from haunted Ireland Ghost watch Location Irish ghost stories Monitor our webcam Tales Old and New from Haunted Ireland Irish ghosts are not confined to old tales of spooks and spirits in days of old, or to black, cold Hallowe'en nights. They are kept very busy, haunting modern as well as ancient ground. Spirits frequent castles and the usual haunted houses, while that scariest of Ireland's spooks, the banshee still pursues noble Irish families, through countryside and city streets. The ghost of Helena Blunden is said to walk in the former linen mill where she once worked, the haunting cry of her last moments echoing off its walls. This is no mere Hallowe'en phantom, or traditional spook, but the tragic tale of a gifted young woman, her life cut short in the early years of this century.

They are no longer the preserve of the past, or a superstitious culture - the supernatural and mundane combine.
