True Irish Ghost Stories

By: Rev. John D. Seymour

Narrated by: Willaim Arthur Anderson, Pam Walker, Beatrice Hartley, Polly Brown

A book to warm the cockles of your heart and, perhaps, raise the hair on the back of your neck.

When the Rev. John D. Seymour, archdeacon of Cashel and Emly, realized that, although he had included several 17th-century ghost stories in his book Witchcraft and Demonology, there was no other published collection of Irish ghost stories. He determined to right that wrong, and True Irish Ghost Stories is the result.

These are simple yet compelling stories, told by ordinary, and some not so ordinary, people of Ireland; amazing tales, not only of ghosts, but of poltergeists, banshees, spirit-filled houses, ghostly carriages, animal spirits, and warnings of death. If you enjoy tales of the supernatural, this is a must listen.

Don't let the computer talk for you

I love a good ghost story. There is something about how someone tells it that makes you lean in and listen closely to every word. It gives you chills. That being said, this does not do it. The text was fed through an automated program that reads it. There is no passion. No pausing. Just taking a good story and making it into dry text.
