Irish fairy and folklore there were in abundance but there was no book of ghosts.

Suddenly a brilliant thought struck me. I wrote out a letter, stating exactly what I wanted, and what I did not want, and requesting the readers of it either to forward me ghost stories, or else to put me in the way of getting them: this letter was sent to the principal Irish newspapers on October 27, and published on October 29, and following days. On October 30, the first answers reached me. Within a fortnight I had sufficient material to make a book; within a month I had so much material that I could pick and choose -- and more was promised. . . .

Embark on a chilling journey into the shadowy realms of the Emerald Isle with this collection of captivating Irish ghost stories, featuring first-hand tales of haunted houses, poltergeists, apparitions and other uncanny accounts.

Faithfully recorded from real newspaper accounts, interviews, and personal letters, St. John Seymour and Harry Neligan eagerly recount the eery and enigmatic ghost-sightings of the Irish people. In these masterfully arranged pages, death-warnings, dismal dreams, and haunted house promise to equally entice and perturb.

Organized in chapters, Seymour and Neligan brilliantly manage to preserve these chilling accounts. Delve into the ominous world of haunts, spooks, and shrieks at your own risk.

Irish Witchcraft and Demonology was originally published in 1913. It is a thorough investigation into Ireland's historical accounts of witchcraft and supernatural occurrences. Drawing from legal records, trial documents, and folklore, Seymour meticulously documents the various witch trials and instances of alleged demonic activity in Ireland from the medieval period through the 18th century. His scholarly approach provides a detailed and contextualized understanding of how witchcraft was perceived and prosecuted in Ireland, making this book an invaluable resource for historians and folklorists interested in the country's cultural and social history.

St. John D. Seymour (1884-1950) was an Irish Anglican clergyman, historian, and folklorist renowned for his work on Irish witchcraft and folklore. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, he served in various clerical positions within the Church of Ireland. His work is valued for its meticulous research and remains a significant resource for scholars of Irish history and folklore.

This book tells the story of St. Patrick's Purgatory, a site of Catholic pilgrimage in the northwest of Ireland, which has been attracting pilgrims for over a thousand years. The book describes the history, legend, and rituals surrounding the pilgrimage, as well as the experiences of pilgrims over the centuries. It is a fascinating exploration of Irish religious and cultural traditions, and an illuminating account of the persistence of popular piety.
