  ''I have never seen a ghost so I cannot say for certain that they exist, but then again I have never seen the wind either yet I know that it is there.''
Joe Baker takes us on a journey down an eerie and moving Memory Lane. From the haunting presence of a cloaked man in Cavehill, ghostly warnings and premonitions of death to the tragedy of Lucifer's Match and the ghosts of the Belfast Workhouse. From the heartbreaking story of the Ghosts of Raglan Street to the mystery of the Belfast Synagogue. From the suicidal ghost standing on the Queen's Bridge and the jealous spirit of Glengyle to the legendary Galloper Thompson. Stories that will break your heart like the sorrow of Jubbie, the Tram Chaser. Stories that will make you shiver like the ghost of Ballymacarett. Haunted hotels, barracks that echo of unspeakable agony and pain, and ghostly nuns.
This is more than an array of ghost tales taking place in the atmospheric, haunting city of Belfast. This is a journey to the past, the history and the heart of Northern Ireland.
