Donegal (or Dun an nGall in Irish, meaning 'the fort of the
stranger') is the name given to the most northerly county in
Ireland. Strange things have happened, and continue to happen, in
this wild and beautiful place and ghost stories are part of the
fabric of life here. This spooky selection features the goblin
child of Castlereagh, the Blue Stacks Banshee, the ghostly swans of
Burt Castle, the Wraiths and Dunlewy Bridge, the legend of Stumpy's
Brae, the Bridgend Poltergeist and many more. Drawing on historical
and contemporary sources and including many first-hand experiences
and previously unpublished tales, Haunted Donegal will enthrall
anyone interested in the unexplained.

This lively and entertaining collection of folk tales from the
County Derry is rich in stories both tall and true, ancient and
recent, dark and funny, fantastical and powerful. Here you will
find stories of mythical beasts such as the Lig-na-Paiste, banished
by St Murrough to Lough Foyle; the dark tales of Abhartach, the
Irish Vampire, and the reason a skeleton features of Derry’s coat
of arms; the cautionary tale of the man who raised the Devil and
who never spoke another word for the rest of his life; and, of
course, the legends of the great St Columba, founder of the City of
Derry, whose prayer reputedly still protects its inhabitants from
ever being struck by lightening. These well-loved and magical
stories, retold by professional storyteller Madeline McCully and
richly illustrated with enchanting line drawings, are sure to be
enjoyed and shared time and again.
