Haunted Galway

‘Tis the season for scares, and most Galwegians celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes, watching spooky films on Netflix and reading creepy stories on Reddit (pro tip: don’t read that thread alone at night).

Halloween is famously thought to come from the pagan Irish festival of Samhain, a celebration of the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter – the darkest part of the year.

It is also the mid-way point between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice, a liminal time when pagans thought the separation between our world and the next is thinned.

This is why ghosts and ghouls – or in ancient times, the Aos Sí or spirits – are thought to be more active at Halloween.

And nowhere in Ireland does Halloween better than Galway, with the always magnificent Macnas parade celebrating and appeasing the otherworldly spirits every year.

But for a real-life ghostly experience, look no further than some of the state’s most haunted ruins and lonely roads.

Here’s a handy list of some of the creepiest spots in the county.

Dunsandle Castle mantlepiece, Athenry

According to legend, the ghost of a tall man attached itself to a mantelpiece in this house.

When a stoneworker took the piece away, the ghost followed both it and him and began to haunt his workshop.

Items were thrown around, and strange fiddling could be heard at night.

It is unclear whether the new owner returned the mantelpiece or smashed it up.

Rathpeak House girl, Ballinasloe

It is reported that from the ruins of Rathpeak house, a young girl has been spotted standing by an upstairs window.

The young girl’s identity is unknown.

There have also been further reports of strange, loud bangs drifting from the empty building from time to time.

However, there is now no sign of the house and there are modern farm sheds at the stables.

Family history sources suggest the house was demolished in the latter years of the twentieth century.

Tyrone House ghost, Kilcolgan

Some believe the ghost of Christopher St George still haunts the ruins of his family home.

His Protestant family is said to have disowned him due to his relationship – and eventual marriage – with a Catholic woman.

However, Christopher St George went on to become an Irish member of Parliament and helped start the Galway Races at Ballybrit.

He was suspected of being complicit in the murder of John Jenkinson Heather on his property in the mid-19th century.

The house was eventually abandoned, and in 1920 it was burned down by the IRA in the Irish War of Independence due to rumours it might be used as a Black and Tan infirmary.

Clifden Castle famine spirits, Clifden

Clifden Castle was built for town founder John D’Arcy in 1818.

After his death the family home passed to his son Hyacinth, who was the owner when disaster struck in the form of the Great Famine in 1845.

Many of the family’s starving tenants – suffering from hunger, weakness, and fever – gathered on the castle lawn to plead for work or food.

But no help was given from the struggling landowner – the estate itself went bankrupt and was sold a few years later.

It is said that some of the stricken tenants died right on the castle grounds, and their spirits can sometimes be seen and heard on the property.

Renvyle House ghosts, Renvyle

This historical house – now a hotel – is thought to be one of the most haunted places in Ireland.

Doors are said to open and close unaided, echoing groans and ghostly footsteps can sometimes be heard, and even furniture and bedsheets have been spotted moving of their own accord.

Among its many reported ghosts are a man who strangled himself with bare hands, figures and faces seen reflected in mirrors (often as ladies are undressing), and one phantom known as ‘Old Mrs. Gogarty’.

W. B. Yeats himself – a famous believer in the paranormal, and a close friend of 20th-century owner Oliver St. John Gogarty – stayed here often with his wife.

Georgia reported seeing the ghost of a young boy, but many believe her husband never left – as after his death a new ghost appeared, a tall man in tweed.

Thoor Ballylee haunting, Gort

Also linked to the Yeats family, this 16th century tower house near Coole Park was purchased by Yeats for a summer home.

Yeats thought the house was haunted by the spirit of an Anglo-Norman soldier who was sometimes seen floating in the stairway.

The tower was opened to the public after its restoration in 1965.

In 1989 while on holiday David Blinkthorne snapped a photo in what had been the sitting room – only to see the shadowy outline of a ghostly child.

It is known as the Blinkthorne Ghost.

Castle Daly spectral party, Loughrea

Although most of this 19th century mansion is now gone, it is said that sometimes the eerie echoes of a party can be heard there, with ghostly music and laughter.

Some say that if you continue listening to the celebrations they end in screams and cries for help.

This haunting could be related to the Daly home from the 1800s, or to the much earlier 16th century Blake tower (on the left) that was incorporated into the facade.

The Claddagh Nun, the Long Walk, Galway City

Six years ago a photo by Jonathan Curran went viral after the image of what seems to be a nun in 19th century Claddagh dress appeared in one of his photos of the Long Walk.

She was not in any of his previous twelve photos of the same spot, nor was she visible before or after the photo was taken.

The ‘nun’ seems to be looking directly at the camera.

According to the photographer, she just seemed to appear for a moment and then disappear.

Is it a ghost? Someone in an unfortunate outfit who happened to pop up instantly and leave again with no trace? We’re still debating.

The Old Man at Maam Cross

Although the exact location is unknown, there is a phantom that haunts an old dirt road running along a hill near Maam Cross.

Sightings of a sad old man standing in the middle of the road after a sharp bend have been reported.

It is said that the old man doesn’t move and that cars (and even people in the car if they’re sitting in the wrong spot) have passed straight through his ghostly presence.

And after the old man passes through the car, if you look back you will see the old man gazing at you very sadly.

Woodlawn House, Kilconnell

Built in the late 1700s by the first Baron Ashtown, Frederick Trench, the family lived in splendour for over a century until the house was sold in the 1970s.

Now currently falling into ruin, the house was also the home of a man who was accused of sexually assaulting two boys in Dublin but who escaped prosecution for the crime.

Much later, rumours of a tragic suicide in the grounds – the owner is said to have shot himself there in 1978 – have helped fuel ghost stories around the abandoned building.

Many people who nose around the property have reported banging noises, creeping shadowy figures, running footsteps and wails and screams.

The team behind the film ‘The Blair Witch Project’ are said to have stayed in the house while filming a documentary in Ireland.

It was purported to be the scariest house they stayed in during their time in the country.

N ot one for the faint of heart, this tour is devoted to exploring all things spooky and strange in Ireland. The island is known for its myth and legend – from Dún na Rí Forest to Dunboyne Castle, every site has its own sacred place in Irish storytelling. This tour is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in Irish culture and  learn more   about the legends of the island, including the stories of Cú Chulainn, the Kings of Meath and the Bloody Chapel.

Pick up your rental car after arriving in Dublin Airport, before journeying to county Cavan. Begin your Irish adventure with a walk through Dún na Rí Forest Park, after checking in in Cabra Castle for the night. The forest is located along the banks of River Cabra and offers some truly stunning views and nature walks. The area is famous for being the mythical camping ground of Cú Chulainn, who stayed there while defending Ulster against the armies of Queen Maeve

Day 2 is devoted to exploring the eerie halls and interesting grounds of Castle Leslie. Castle Leslie is set amid 1,000 acres of breathtaking scenery and has been home to the Leslie family for over 3 centuries. Many famous faces have graced the halls of the castle through the years, including W.B. Yeats, Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger. Be sure to check out the infamous Red Room, a room said to be haunted by Norman Leslie who died during WWI. Apparently his mother Lady Marjorie was sleeping in this room one night and awoke to see his ghost standing near the foot of her bed, looking through some letters. After a while he allegedly turned to her, smiled, and then faded away. Many other anomalies have been reported by visitors of the castle, such as bells ringing by themselves and strange apparitions wandering down corridors.

On day 3 you’ll journey to your next overnight – the fabulous four-star Mount Falcon Country House Hotel. Located on the banks of the River Moy, the hotel is nestled in 100 acres of gorgeous woodlands and greenery. The hotel has been restored to its original glory over the past decades, and the area is famed for its salmon pools and fishing opportunities. Previous guests of the estate include Vivien Leigh and Tiger Woods.

Today you’ll tour Abbeyglen Castle, a fortification built in 1832 by John d’Arcy of Clifden Castle. The castle has a rich, colourful history and has been used as a parish house and a Protestant orphanage. Then you’ll visit Kylemore Abbey, undoubtedly one of the most famous abbeys in Ireland. The Benedictine monastery was erected in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle, in Connemara, County Galway. The Abbey served as the backdrop for the plight of the Benedictine Nuns, who were forced out of Belgium during WWI.

Enjoy a tour of the haunting Adare Castle today, learning about the history of the area and of greater Limerick as you explore the halls and chambers. The castle was a stronghold of the Earl of Desmond, and includes a moat and banquet hall to roam around. That evening you’ll retire to The Mustard Seed, a luxury country house set in a converted 19th century convent in Adare. The country house sits on 10 acres of beautiful gardens and orchards, full to bursting with fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits that are all used in the kitchen of the hotel.

Today take a trip to Waterford Castle, an impressive building set on the banks of the River Suir. The castle was built in the 16th century and resides on its own island. Then it’s on to Waterford Crystal, where you can buy a souvenir of your trip. Then it’s on toe inarguably the spookiest part of your vacation – a tour of Leap Castle. The castle is rumoured to be home to many murderous ghosts and ghouls, with its lore dating back to an event called the “Bloody Chapel”. Tour the infamous chapel and a hidden dungeon located within the castle, complete with drop floor.

Today you’ll tour Meath and the Midlands, stopping by such sights as the Hill of Uisneach, a major stretch of background in some of the most famous lore in Irish history. The Hill was used in many rituals including the May Day ritual, and is said to be the place where St. Patrick and St. Brigid crossed paths. You’ll also take a tour of Dunboyne Castle and Loughcrew Cairns. The Cairns date back to Neolithic times and are a point of interest especially around the Autumnal Equinox.

Return to Dublin today to catch your flight after enjoying breakfast in Ireland for the last time… until the next vacation!
