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.
There are numerous books about Irish Fairies, but this was one of the first to focus on the Irish Ghost. The text visits haunted houses from one end of the island to the other. We learn about garden-variety ghosts as well as poltergeists and Banshees, and find out what to do if a 'Headless Coach' shows up. Seymour solicited the stories from newspaper readers, and many of them are from respectable military, clergymen, and gentry. Seymour also wrote Irish Witchcraft and Demonology. True Irish Ghost Stories is a unique and very entertaining read, particularly for fans of Irish tales, as well as the paranormal investigator.--J.B. Hare, May 6th, 2009.
