Rahona Lodge, Carrigaholt

Rahona Lodge in Carrigaholt, County Clare, is home to a rather unusual ghost known affectionately as 'Lucky'. This spirit was described by former owner Charlotte Kean as 'lucky' because it seemed to be able to spend as much time as it liked at her family's summer home. The haunting reportedly took place around 1917, and it's interesting to note that the ghost didn't seem to be a malevolent presence. In fact, it was considered so benign that it was almost as if Lucky had been given permission to linger at Rahona Lodge.

Well, Raphoe

In the quaint town of Raphoe, nestled in County Donegal, Ireland, lies a well with a rather unsettling reputation. This ordinary-looking well was said to possess an extraordinary gift - or curse, depending on how you look at it. Legend has it that if you peered into its depths and the water bubbled and overflowed, you had a long life ahead of you. On the other hand, if the water level sank lower, it was a grim indication that your time was running out. It's said that people would visit this well to catch a glimpse of their fate, but unfortunately, the well no longer exists, leaving us to wonder about its legitimacy.

Corkagh Estate, Dublin

Corkagh Park, once the grounds of Corkagh House, is said to be haunted by a mysterious presence that was first noticed during the Easter Rising of 1916. On Easter Monday of that year, the family and staff at Corkagh House were startled by the sound of a band playing and marching feet heading towards the house. They were naturally anxious, expecting an attack, but the sounds suddenly stopped and nothing could be seen. It was as if the music and marching had been a phantom procession, a fleeting glimpse of something that wasnt quite there.

Old Courthouse, Lifford

The Old Courthouse in Lifford stands as a testament to the town's rich history, but it's also home to a rather unsettling presence. Adam Grierson's spirit is said to roam these hallowed halls, a victim of a botched murder trial that left many questions unanswered. In the 1860s, Francis Bradley was put on trial not once, not twice, but three times for Grierson's murder, with each jury failing to reach a verdict. During the third trial, a priest attempted to summon Grierson's ghost, and the atmosphere outside grew ominous - the sky darkened, and horses whinnied in distress. The judge intervened, and order was restored, but the jury still couldn't agree on a verdict.

Road in the village, Mullagh

In the sleepy Irish village of Mullagh, a spine-tingling encounter took place on a rural road one early morning in the 1880s. Dan Keohane, a local resident, claimed to have been confronted by a phantom woman who attempted to attack him. With quick thinking, Keohane used a small piece of steel to fend her off, and she vanished into thin air when the cock crowed. This bizarre incident has been etched in local folklore, leaving behind a trail of questions about the identity and motivations of the ghostly apparition.

James O'Keeffe Memorial Centre, Newmarket

The James O'Keeffe Memorial Centre in Newmarket, once a convent, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a nun who met a tragic end. During renovation work, builders found a window in one room smashed, and despite replacing it, the glass shattered again within 24 hours. It's said that the nun leapt to her death from this very window, and her restless spirit still roams the area. A local priest was called to bless the space, after which the glass remained intact, suggesting that the nun's presence had been acknowledged and appeased.
