Ireland is famed for its ghost stories, from banshees to spirits of the night like the púca, and not forgetting the little folk, the lep-roo-shans as so spoken by our visitors from the United States!
Here is a selection of poems from the imagination, and also a selection of amily legends from the family ancestral home of North Longford, with chilling tales from famine times as well as other stories to make the flesh creep!
We close the collection with a few scary tales from Tullamore and a versification of some legends from Scotland...
