Dublin After Dark
Dublin’s ghost tours explore the city’s darker history — plague, execution, haunted buildings, body snatching, and the supernatural folklore that clings to the oldest parts of the city. The tours run in the evening, using the atmospheric lighting and quiet streets of the older neighbourhoods to enhance the storytelling. Routes typically cover the medieval core (Christ Church, Dublin Castle, the Liberties) and sites with documented ghost stories or macabre histories.
