Modern tales of poltergeists in housing estates, phantom voices, ghostly nannies, white ladies, and banshees--this isn't the stuff of oft repeated folklore; these are freshly discovered ghostly tales from the people of Kilkenny. Ideal for the paranormal enthusiast, the local historian, the Kilkenny diaspora abroad, and anyone who enjoys a good, scary story, Haunted Kilkenny is a book for everyone. All you need is to remain calm, don't panic and remember it's only a book.

Strange noises in fancy flats, shadowy figures in half-finished lofts and cozy hotels. Gates in castles that can never fully shut. Ghostly women that take rides with unaware bachelors. Haunted forests and mines. Despairing residents who have to get used to the idea of a ghostly roommate.
Modern paranormal tales - except they aren't tales but actual experiences proving that even in our all -too-modern era, the Unknown wants to make itself known.
Two remarks: a) I definitely want to visit Kilkenny but I am too frightened to do so in the foreseeable future and, b) no matter how cozily atmospheric this book is, the need for some serious editing seems fundamental in a future reissue. We are talking MAJOR grammatical and syntax errors that took away 50% of the pleasure. Difficult to feel fully scared when you correct every other paragraph in your mind. Especially when you are an English teacher.
