Summary "True Irish Ghost Stories" by St. John D. Seymour and Harry Neligan is a collection of supernatural accounts compiled during the early 20th century. This work aims to document a variety of ghostly experiences drawn from the personal anecdotes of individuals across Ireland, capturing the eerie ambiance associated with haunted locations and spectral encounters. The focus is on true accounts, offering a glimpse into the world of spirits that many claim to have witnessed. The opening of the book sets the stage for the exploration of the supernatural, beginning with a foreword that explains how the compilers gathered ghost stories from the public through a letter published in major Irish newspapers. This section presents the compelling context of the book's creation, detailing the eagerness of contributors to share their ghostly encounters. The first chapter introduces readers to haunted houses in and around Dublin, with stories featuring spectral inhabitants causing disturbances, such as a spectral charwoman and unsettling noises that provoke fear and fascination. This blend of personal narratives and local folklore invites readers into a realm where the boundaries between the living and the dead blur, stirring curiosity about the unknown.
