Dublin Ghost Stories of Phantom Dogs and Mysterious Figures

Dublin is a beautiful city that straddles the River Liffey, famous as the home of Guinness and the National Leprechaun Museum. What you might not expect from the Irish capital is a series of Dublin ghost stories.

Though why not? The city enjoys a millennium of history, including Viking settlement, economic hardship caused by the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the fight for independence from Britain. Of course there would be ghost stories!

For much of this article, I followed the legends related by Dave Walsh in Haunted Dublin, though where I could, I did a little digging of my own.

But enough of the preamble. Let’s explore some Dublin ghost stories in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
