What you can expect

Set off on a spine-chilling adventure into Northside, one of the oldest areas in Dublin. Once night has fallen over the city, a ghost-loving guide leads you through the streets, sharing macabre and gruesome details of the city's history, as well as tales of the paranormal that have plagued Dubliners for centuries.

As the capital of one of the world's most haunted countries, Dublin is no stranger to the spooky and supernatural, especially in the medieval district of Northside. Meet up with your guide—one associated with the research team known as Paranormal Study and Investigation Ireland—and head off into the cobblestone streets. Keep close to your guide as you tip-toe your way down dimly lit lanes, learning of the city's otherworldly folklore.

Feel the chills come over you as hear the story of the infamous and sadistic Lord Norbury, known as the “Hanging Judge.” Hated in life, he returned after his death to continue his reign of terror over the city. As you walk, learn of the time when killer Billy in the Bowl stalked the neighborhood of Stoneybatter, and take a stroll down Hendrick Street, once the site of 2 of the most haunted houses in Dublin. The homes may not be there today, but the same can't be said for their ghosts.

If you're feeling especially brave, take a walk through Croppies Acre, the rumored resting place of revolutionaries from the bloody 18th-century rebellion. Be careful as you step through a deconsecrated graveyard, as the headstones may have moved but the bodies surely haven’t. Your tour concludes outside one of the eeriest attractions in all of Ireland, St. Michan's Church. Hear of the centuries-old mummies that are kept in the basement and learn of the church's influence on Dracula author Bram Stoker.
