Haunted Dublin: Ghosts, Demons, Fairies & the Occult (opens in a new tab)

2 h 15 min

What makes The Dark Side of Dublin distinctive is its combination of history, folklore and the supernatural.

The stories are rooted in real places and historical accounts, while also considering how legends developed and changed over time. The result is a tour somewhere between history and folklore, asking not only what may have happened, but why people believed it—and why these stories have remained part of Dublin’s imagination.
