Product Description: Poltergeists and banshees, spirit-filled houses, and deathbed scenes pervaded by
specters fill this enchanting treasury of tales based on supernatural
phenomenon. Compiled from Ireland’s abundant reserve of ghost stories, this
richly varied collection of legendary and ancestral phantoms, 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 authors St. John D. Seymour, a Church of England priest, and his
colleague, Harry L. Neligan, asked contributors to send in their favorite ghost
stories, which many happily did. Classified by geographical area, the simple yet
compelling narratives — at once disarming, convincing, and illuminating —
provide amazing descriptions of paranormal experiences. An entertaining,
authentic glimpse of late 19th- and early-20th-century Ireland and the
superstitious natures of its 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.
