By Tadhg Sheridan

Ireland has always kept its dead close.

The Great Book of Irish Ghosts is a powerful journey through the haunted traditions of Ireland, from banshee cries and fairy forts to phantom coaches, death roads, famine ghosts, cursed houses, castle apparitions, coastal spirits, and the restless dead who return to the living.

Drawing on Irish folklore, witness accounts, historic collections, local tradition, and the eerie landscapes of Ireland itself, this book explores the supernatural beliefs that shaped generations.

It was always a door.
