Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin

From$14
2 hours
Dublin, Ireland

Full description

Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but - in the words of Mark Williams - demoted to lesser beings. On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The mysteries and the macabre all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence. Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings… TOPICS - Maud Gonne & WB Yeats - The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - Huguenot Cemetery - The Ghost of the Shelbourne - St. Stephen’s Green’s Grizzly History - Bram Stoker - Graverobbers - Darkey Kelly - Dublin’s House of Horrors - Tenements - Justice in Dublin

Fantastic Tour

The tour was incredible! Liam was a fantastic tour guide who was both fun and engaging. He was a wealth of knowledge and maintained a perfect mix of spooky stories and interesting facts. It was a great way to explore the area and gain a new perspective on some well known sights. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning some darker Dublin history.
