Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls of Dublin | Walking Tour

About this event
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.
Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings…
Maud Gonne & WB Yeats
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Huguenot Cemetery
The Ghost of the Shelbourne
