Hidden Dublin: Haunted History Walking Tour
1h30

About this activity
Whilst most of Dublin’s grisly past has been left behind to history, not every character has decided to pass over into the next world.
The Emerald Isle is known as being one of the most haunted countries on the planet. Many of the world's most famous supernatural characters and stories find their roots in the tales told across the centuries by generations around Irish peat fires on dark, dank nights. Each wave of human culture from the Celts to the Protestant ascendancy has left a mark when it comes to the haunted history of this city. It is this diversity which makes Dublin’s other-worldly folklore so fascinating.
Let your guide lead you through the eerie, cobblestoned streets, hearing tales from the underbelly of this city, such as the burning of 18th century madam Darkey "The Witch" Kelly, the tragic tale of The Green Lady of St. Audoen’s and how Dublin's "Hell" got its name. Learn of the period in which The Dolocher stalked our streets, and hear tales of the mysterious 18th century Hellfire Club and its dark origins, until you reach the Gates of Hell... and enter – beware!
This unique tour covers the more macabre and gruesome aspects of Dublin’s history, as well as, tales of the supernatural which have frightened Dubliners for centuries.
This tour is the only haunted tour in Dublin associated with PSI Ireland (PARANORMAL STUDY AND INVESTIGATION IRELAND). This tour takes a serious and respectful approach to paranormal Dublin, providing insight and balance in this historically accurate tour which gives visitors as real an experience as possible.

Our guide did a great job sharing stories of the history and ghosts of Dublin. He was very funny and a great storyteller. Enjoyed by my whole family ranging in age from 18 to 72.
The tour was boring. There was nothing scary about it. It was more a tour of facts then history and the guide had a fact wrong.
