After-dark walk through medieval alleys, plague pits and haunted pubs with a costumed storyteller.
About
Why visit Haunted Dublin Walking Tour
A theatrical evening walking tour led by costumed guides through Dublin's darkest lanes — from the crypts of St Michan's to the plague pits of the medieval quarter — mixing genuine social history with ghost stories, witch trials and body-snatching tales that shaped the city.
- The mummies of St Michan's are said to have inspired Bram Stoker, a Dublin native, before he wrote Dracula.
- Dublin's medieval executions were carried out at Gallows Green, near modern Baggot Street.
- The 'ghost' of Buck Whaley — an 18th-century rake — is Dublin's most reported apparition.
