Independently Published Irlande hantée et Écosse : Histoires vraies de fantômes de châteaux celtiques, de pubs historiques et de ruines antiques - Pubs hantés d'Irlande

Step out of the rain-lashed Atlantic gale and into the amber light of an ancient Irish pub. The turf fire crackles, the mahogany glows, a pint of stout settles slowly on the bar grooved by centuries of elbows. And in the shadows dancing in the corner - or in the creak of the floorboards overhead - you begin to realise that you are not alone.For more than a thousand years, the Irish pub has been the heart of Irish life. It was the parliament of the working man, the confessional of the heartbroken, the meeting place of revolutionaries, and the last refuge of the famine-stricken. Joy, grief, conspiracy, terror, and quiet despair have all soaked into the wattle and daub, the rough-hewn stone, and the dark oak. It is no wonder these buildings are among the most haunted places in the world.In Haunted Pubs of Ireland, you will travel from the cobbled alleyways of Dublin to the windswept coasts of Donegal, visiting 30 of the Emerald Isle's most haunted drinking establishments, including: - Sean's Bar, Athlone - said to be the oldest pub in Ireland, where the spirits of more than a thousand years still gather around the dark water- Grace Neill's, Donaghadee - haunted by the iron matriarch who once served Tsar Peter the Great- Kyteler's Inn, Kilkenny - where the shadow of a 14th-century sorceress still moves through the limestone- Dobbins Inn, Carrickfergus - where love, betrayal, and bloodstone bound a spirit to the walls foreverPlus 26 more, drawn from the historical record, regional folklore, and the testimony of publicans, bar staff, and tourists who saw what they were not meant to see.For readers of Irish history, the supernatural, heritage travel, and the great tradition of the Irish ghost story - and for anyone whose people came across the water from Cork, Galway, or Donegal - this is the haunted pub crawl you have been waiting for.From The Forgotten Chronicles, the series of British and Irish folklore by L T James.
