Dublin: Legends, Ghosts & Ghouls Walking Tour

About This Tour

Legends, Ghosts, and GhoulsIreland 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. This is an important element of Ireland’s oral histories, which in turn have coloured its popular histories and left many legends for us to parse over today.On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The seances and unwrapping parties, 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, Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings…Meet up: WB Yeats HouseDrop off: City HallDuration: 90-120 minsTOPICSMaud Gonne & WB YeatsThe Hermetic Order of the Golden DawnHuguenot CemeteryThe Ghost of the ShelbourneSt. Stephen’s Green’s Grizzly HistoryBram StokerGraverobbersDarkey KellyDublin’s House of HorrorsTenementsJustice in Dublin
