7 UNBELIEVABLE Irish Ghost Tales That Will Haunt Your Dreams!
7.
The Black Cat Of Killakee So it's nothing out of the ordinary that
Many large houses have cats roaming around the grounds, hunting rats and peeing on and
clawing up all the good furniture they can goddamn find, But, The Killakee House in Dublin
was particularly unfortunate in this respect.
The Black Cat of Killakee is an old, legendary creature that has reportedly been sighted
in the area for centuries.
However, its legend really sprung to life in 1968, when a young couple bought the rundown
Killakee House and started renovating it.
It was reported soon after the renovations began by the workers that they heard strange
sounds and eerie events, which culminated when a huge black cat with glowing demon eyes
started haunting them.
The animal appeared and vanished in the blink of an eye and scared the workers greatly.
The lady of the house first thought the workmen were merely superstitious, but soon, she and
her husband started encountering the beast as well.
It's been said that The Black Cat appears in hallways and areas with clearly locked
doors, staring and snarling at frightened witnesses.
Before long, an exorcism was performed in the premises.
This took care of the cat—at least, for a few months.
An unwitting séance held by a group of actors not only brought the Black Cat back, but also
caused the house to be haunted by a pair of ghostly nuns.

The Moving Virgin Mary Of Ballinspittle So for those of you have an interest in ghost
stories, The Virgin Mary Statue has been closely related to many horror stories across the
globe as many people believe that these statues have mysterious properties.
However, most of them are limited to crying or bleeding.
In 1985, a particular Irish statue of the Holy Mother showed some special abilities
stronger than that: It started moving.
The moving Virgin Mary statue of Ballinspittle was first witnessed by a retired police sergeant
who saw it begin levitating in the grotto of the church.
At first, he he simply couldn't believe it with his own eyes, However, the statue
was solid concrete after all.
Instead of just going about his day as usual, he went back the next day to inspect it even
further and realizing there was no chance of foul play, he became convinced that he
had witnessed a miraculous event.
The legend of the statue started spreading and others started claiming they had also
seen it move.
Now we're not saying that this is a paranormal event for certain as this has sprung up a
widespread debate between people who believe this is connected to something supernatural
and others believing it's either a prank being played by someone or just some sort
of strange coincidence.
Scientists have written the statue's abilities off as an optical illusion and even the Irish
Catholic Church doubts the story.
Despite all this, believers in the phenomenon stand by their claims.
Some say they can still see the statue move sometimes.
he was plagued by horrific nightmares of the ghostly figures that would go on to inform
his world-famous books on Japanese legends and ghost stories.
he spent some time living on Dublin's Leeson Street with his father's aunt.
While in that house as a child,
. Patrick Lafcadio Hearn was born in Greece in 1850 to an Irish father and Greek mother
and, after being abandoned by both parents, . Lafcadio Hearn's horror essay 'Nightmare-Touch'
appears in The Penguin Book of Ghost Stories: From Elizabeth Gaskell to Ambrose Bierce (2010),
but what readers unfamiliar with the author's life may not realise is that the story is
somewhat autobiographical.
5.
Nightmares of Lafcadio Hearn Now even though this is one of the few pieces
of literature to be placed on this list, it's still a fun tale to be accquainted with.
Not to mention that this one is kind of great due to it's gothic undertones.
4.
St. Michan's Church St. Michan's Church is a 330-year-old building
sitting on a site that's almost 600 years older.
It is built directly on top of a number of huge 500-year-old burial vaults.
Now if that doesn't scream "Oh my god, run, leave this place now, for the love of
god run!", then i don't know what will.
It's almost like you're asking to be haunted if you're building something atop a burial
site, let alone a 600 year old one.
Anyway, These vaults are still full of corpses, stacked in coffins and eerily well-preserved.
Some of the coffins have crumbled, while others have collapsed into piles where corpse limbs
are sticking out from a mound of broken wood.
Hell, Some of these vaults are even completely open, revealing the mummy-like figures within.
Seriously, if a zombie apocalypse was to happen, The undead could just walk straight out of
their graves rather that dealing with that pesky task of digging their way out.
Yikes.
Anyway, Eerie as they may seem, the burial vaults of St. Michan's are a popular tourist
attraction.
Many visitors have reported feeling a strange presence, as if there was a "pressure"
of living people all around them.
The vaults are also filled with a strange murmuring noise, as if many people were whispering
just far enough away that you can't quite make out the words.
All in all, the experience of this tourist attraction creates a truly unique and creepy
experience that makes it difficult to think that ghosts don't exist.
His most regular haunt appears to be Puck's Staircase, the stairway to the turret where
he used to live.
It is said he also appears in many photos taken by the tourists.
Even exterior shots sometimes show his impish features in the ivy of the castle's walls
Some state that his lover was taken away and he was later discovered to be stabbed through
the heart, while other sources claim that he hung himself for what appeared to be no
reason whatsoever.
Both versions of this story share one thing in common however.
Puck vowed to haunt and protect the castle after his death.
Many are certain that he kept his promise, as the small caretaker has made numerous appearances
throughout the years.
The most interesting of the castle's ghosts is Puck, a small, reclusive jester who was
a caretaker of the castle during the rule of Henry VIII.
It has been said that there are at least two variations of his legend:
The beautiful, anonymous White Lady in a large painting in the main hall has been reported
to leave her painting to walk the corridors at night.
It has also been said that another lady by the name of Maud Plunkett, roams the same
corridors, forever chasing her husband's unseen ghost.
A ruthless lord called Miles Corbet is sometimes seen as an imposing armored soldier who suddenly
breaks into pieces.
3.
Malahide Castle So it goes without saying that Any 800-year-old
castle with a dark and gory history behind it is more that likely to have at least one
ghost wandering around.
Dublin's Malahide Castle is no exception.
In fact, Malahide is famous for no fewer than five resident ghosts.
The spectral Lord Galtrim—who died violently on his wedding day in the 15th century, after
which his bride married his biggest rival—is said to wander the castle grounds at night,
groaning from the pain of heartbreak and spear wounds alike.
Anyway, It has been said that although a spirit may reside in one location, if you were to
take a souvenir of that location away with you, it might be that the ghost decides it's
grown rather fond of its favorite piece of brick and follow it instead.
After all, it's probably dying for a change in scenery.
A 20th century stoneworker in Athenry found this out the hard way when he dismantled a
fireplace in the old Dunsandle House.
Because he was a fan of the old asthetic look, he decided to chop the mantelpiece out and
take it with him to his workshop.
I mean they were probably going to chuck it in the trash anyway so why not?
Well, Unfortunately for him, the ghost of a tall man haunted Dunsandle House—and it
had attached itself to the mantelpiece.
Suddenly, the stone worker's unassuming workshop was as haunted as the worst ghost house.
Objects were flying around and a strange fiddle played at night.
Presumably, the spirit itself made a few appearances as well—how else would they have known it
was a tall man?
Eventually, the stoneworker was able to make this hellish apparition stop.
The legend doesn't state whether he achieved this by smashing up the mantelpiece or returning
it to the haunted house, but chances are he played it safe and returned it.
I mean it really makes sense when you take the time to think about it.
The thing is already pissed as it is that you stole its property.
Are you really going to go out of your way to destroy it?
It'll only get even more angry.
Here's where the comments section point out a ghost story.
AND GHOST TOWN STARRING RICKY GERVAIS DOESN'T COUNT!
I mean, it's difficult to think of a story in which ghosts are free to roam wherever
they so please….
2.
Dunsandle Mantelpiece Many theorists and paranormal experts agree
that most ghosts are often tied to a certain location.
1.
The Cooneen Poltergeist Here's yet another widely popular Irish
ghost story.
Here we have the tale of the Cooneen poltergeist.
The story is centered around an abandoned cottage in a forest, where it has been said
that a demonic poltergeist manifested there way back in 1913.
Personally speaking, This set ups is something that would be perfect to base a horror movie
around.
The Murphy family who at the time the story is set lived there.
The family state that they would constantly hear noises echo throughout the cottage.
Noises such as footsteps, tapping, snoring, spitting and hissing – before the ghost
went on to more enthusiastic activities, like throwing things across the room.
According to Blake, the three priests who attempted to deal with the poltergeist – all
of whom saw unexplained happenings take place in the cottage – were very badly affected
by the encounters.
One had a nervous breakdown, one contracted spinal meningitis and another suffered facial
paralysis.
The family emigrated to the United States.
And that's our list?
