Ghosts of County Cork: Rescued Folklore from Ireland's southernmost county

By Mike Baldwin and Dr Mike Baldwin

Ghosts of County Cork gathers forty stories once told beside the hearths of the county's farms, villages, and towns - tales of haunted houses, storm-beaten islands, and the narrow ground where the living and the dead meet, memories of fear passed from one generation to the next.

But this is more than a collection of ghost stories. It is a portrait of a county where landscape and memory are inseparable, and where ghosts are rarely simple figures of terror. More often they are signs of unfinished business: grief that outlived a mourner, an unpaid debt, an unrighted wrong.

Atmospheric and rooted in the voices of ordinary people, Ghosts of County Cork preserves a haunting inheritance from Ireland's southernmost county - one that still waits at the bend of a road, or in a light across the water.
