Ireland’s Haunted Women tells the chilling tales of nine modern Irishwomen, and one young girl, who have experienced hauntings.
This is not just another ghost book – no rehashing of old tales or stories borrowed from other collections. These cases are told here for the first time, collected from women the length and breadth of Ireland – women who are vulnerable to seeing ghosts, to house-hauntings and to demonic possession.
We have come a long way from headless horsemen, pookas, banshees and the like. The modern ghost has to be more sophisticated than that. On the other hand, poltergeist activity has remained virtually unchanged down the centuries; scenes of past wickedness continue to haunt the living; the spirits of the deceased stubbornly insist on returning.
Riveting, suspenseful, these tales of the paranormal will draw you in and leave you petrified! Whether you accept them as truth or reject them as delusion or false memory, we guarantee that they will leave you shaken and slow to switch off your bedside lamp for many nights to come.

Ireland's Haunted Women Reviews

First Halloween read - review to follow

I didn't think much of the book, to be honest. Some of the stories were not that interesting, and so I had to slog through it. I was disappointed that not one of the people involved did any research into what happened in the past, which may have explained the reason for the haunting.
Also, I felt the book was very much geared towards Catholicism and I felt it was included or mentioned at every opportunity. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against religion but I just felt there was a bit too much of it. -
Interesting theme, however, I didn't get much out of it and the style is a little too chatty and diluted...

ok
