The Irish are embracing the supernatural with gusto

People might be sceptical of the ghost hunter clubs springing up all over the country but, according to some of Ireland’s top paranormal investigators, their supernatural adventures are far from hocus pocus.

BREDA Duggan from Ardfert, Co Kerry has been ghost hunting for over a decade.

“I’ve always been interested in the paranormal. When I was younger I used to love sitting around the fire listening to ghost stories. I think that sparked my interest initially. Then a group of us decided to visit haunted Ross Castle in County Meath. It’s famous for the ghost of a girl whose father was an English lord. It was a really exciting experience and I was hooked,” she says.
