Your Stories

Not every haunting is bound to a castle, ruin, or roadside inn.

This section is for the stories that exist outside the Spirited Isle Directory — the personal encounters, the family tales passed down in whispers, the experiences that took place in unnamed fields or faraway places. Whether rooted in Ireland or beyond, these are the moments that defy explanation.

Ghosts, strange happenings, malevolent forces, or something else entirely — if you’ve lived it, heard it, or can’t quite forget it, we want to hear it.

Is my house haunted?

Fermanagh

I have always suspected that my house is haunted. It is not an old house; it is probably around 90 to 60 years old. The reason I suspect my house is haunted is since I moved in when I was 10 years old. So, when I started hearing things, I thought it was just my cat. But something else happened around this time. It was around 3 years later I confirmed that the house was haunted. For the first t...
My family farm: the secret

Monaghan area (rural)

This family home is somewhere near Monaghan, but I can’t say exactly where because it’s in the middle of nowhere; this story comes from my grandmother, aunts, and uncles, although my cousin and I have experienced some of it ourselves, just not all of it. So me and my cousin got really bored on the day of a family reunion at the family-owned farm. Everyone was starting to leave, but since we we...
Mysterious White Bus

Salford United Kingdom

When I was younger, around ten years old, me and my friends encountered something uncanny. I’m from Salford, a city in Greater Manchester. It shares a border with the city of Manchester it’s a built-up city, and I live quite close to the Manchester City centre. The street I grew up on was a cul-de-sac, so me and my friends would often play on my street since it was quite quiet for us to play. M...
Spanish Town, Jamaica

13 Oxford Road, Spanish Town, Jamaica

I want to share something that happened to me back in 2016. I don't know what I saw that day, and I'm not going to tell anyone that it was definitely a demon or anything supernatural. I'm just going to tell you exactly what happened. At the time, my mom and I were squatting in a large abandoned four-story building. Some people had taken over the building and were using different parts of it fo...
The Woman Who Appeared in My Dreams

At my grandparents house

So, I'm sharing this story that happened and that involve the same apparition in multiple dreams. This one is the scariest. I was at my grandparents house with my little brother and my dad, and for some nights, we decided to actually sleep in the same room all together. The room where we slept in has the bed in the middle of the room and in front of that bed there is the closet. What's particul...
Cherry Tobacco
This was 2005. We were preparing to move from the UK to Ireland and had agreed a price on the house we wanted to buy. That evening, I was sitting in my room when the distinct scent of cherry tobacco filled the air. It was really strong and hung in the air for a while but I thought nothing of it at the time. I assumed my mother had lit some incense or something. But the next morning, I was sitti...
Is My Farmhouse Haunted?

5 Miles Outside Carrickmacross

Mentioned this in one of my previous stories titled "A Countryside Haunting in South Monaghan", but I live in an old farmhouse estimated to be 200 or 300 years old. Me and my family don't know to much about the house. It was home to an Irish MP during the early 1900s, and has been expanded on since it was first built. As I mentioned in my previous story, the road down below my house and the sur...
Old Hospital
When I was in my late teens I got properly into urban exploring. And honestly, fair play to you for the way you talk about us in your videos — you actually get it. We’re not wreckers or gobshites out causing damage. We don’t break into places, we don’t smash stuff up. We just love old buildings and taking photos of whatever’s left inside. Anyway, one of my explores went a bit sideways there ba...
Recollection Of Strange Experiences

County Clare

I'm not making it up, but its best if I don't tell you where it happened, although some of you may recognise it. Some 25 years ago my wife and I spent a week in the west of County Clare, renting a small cottage in a row of them on the way out of a small town. It was a strange little place, with a feeling even I could sense, of having once had the heart and guts knocked out of it, and never reco...
Ghostly Prostitute

Dundalk

It's been a while since I was told of this tale (10+ years ago) but I'll tell it anyway. As me and my sister were passing a pub as we turned the corner in a more quieter part of Dundalk, she mentioned to me that the upper floor of this pub was haunted by the ghost of a prostitute as confirmed by someone she knew who worked there. This area of the building was not in use, however when a staff m...
