The Dark Side of Dublin: Ghosts, Demons, Fairies & the Occult

What makes The Dark Side of Dublin distinctive is its combination of history, folklore and the supernatural. Rather than simply presenting a series of ghost stories, the tour explores the darker beliefs that shaped Dublin’s cultural history: fairies, séances, spiritualism, possessions, demons and occult traditions. The stories are rooted in real places and historical accounts, while also considering how legends developed and changed over time. The result is a tour somewhere between history and folklore, asking not only what may have happened, but why people believed it—and why these stories have remained part of Dublin’s imagination.
